Introduction

This is my last article for the Lux Developers mentorship program. I am going to share the best methods to apply while learning JavaScript to make sure that you do what's best and master the language.

First of all

You may know of a JavaScript online course known as mastering js. If you don't I deem it credible enough to accompany you on your journey.

Javascript, much like any other programming language needs dedication and consistency while learning. That's a tip that will never grow old and is going to be the most valuable in this article.

Let's begin!!

Variable types

Declaration of variables is unavoidable while programming. Variables differ in type. If you're coming in from another language or beginning programming as a whole. You need to know your way around variables, the different types and the scopes in which the variables are applicable. This will definitely be valuable when using values through out the code.

Functional and OOP Programming

Functional programming is a method of programming where you use functions primarily in your overall code. OOP programming- Object Oriented programming- this is a method of programming where you apply the concept of objects by using classes, constructors, inheritance and polymorphism among other dynamic ways of using classes to fit your purpose.

Data Structures and Algorithms.

You may have heard that you may have a really have a hard time getting selected in an interview without this concept.

Data Structures are an important concept that may not be so much relevant in your usual small projects. They however matter a lot if you're working on a large system or code with upto or more that 1,000 lines of code. This is when you need to scale all that code meaning all the irrelevant sections have to go, or be replace with shorter lines of implementation.

This article is gonna be short sadly.

Conclusion

All you really need to know to master js is to stop reading this blog and open an IDE and start coding. There's no majic wand. Instead, try googling javascript projects to try out and get your brain working!!
