Let’s start off with Books! Books are very underrated and they are a great way to learn new things. The best book of them all for this is JavaScript from begginer to Professional. This book goes into great detail on how to learn JavaScript and become a well trained JavaScript developer.
If you are more of a visual learner then enrolling onto a course can be the best way to learn JavaScript. It is both interactive and concise. With either of these two courses you will be able to learn JavaScript in no time. The first one we would recommend is JavaScript Basics for Beginners. This course is great if you are just starting out and want to learn at a slower beginner pace. Secondly we would also recommend The Complete JavaScript Course 2022: From Zero to Expert! This course goes into a lot of detail and it is a 69 hour investment but well worth it if you have the time or you want to transition into a JavaScript role.
Finally if you want to learn JavaScript but do want to invest any money, you can take a look at W3Schools! They have some of the best tutorials on the internet and they are completely free. Their JavaScript course is very good and detailed with sections for you to try yourself.
