The issue? I'm the idiot. Any suggestions for a guide to JS/TS for someone trying to learn about front-end development.

Idiots guide:

Learn JavaScript first.

Learn about Typescript after you can do things using JavaScript

Yeah I fucked up step 1 as well. Suggestions?

Step 1: Open your browser‘s console

Step 2: Type random shit and see what happens

Step 3: Google why things happen that you don’t understand or how to make things happen you want

Optional steps 4&5: call yourself a senior dev and profit.

Seriously though, you’ve given no context to your question. Are you already a seasoned Haskell purist but can’t wrap your head around the monstrosity that is JS? Are you wondering how websites work? Do you have no idea what programming is but heard you can ‘do cool stuff if you know js’?

Good luck though, JS is the acid trip of (serious) programming languages. It’s fun though!

JS so far to me feels like anarchy (coming from Rust and Python)
