Learn JavaScript the WHY way and not just the HOW way

Reading Time: 5 mins 👀

Did you ever ask yourself these questions?

  1. JavaScript is a functional language, what is the difference between functional and object-oriented programming?
  2. JavaScript is asynchronous, what is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous and why is it so important?
  3. JavaScript is single threaded and event based, so how is performance achieved in modern applications?
  4. JavaScript is an interpreted language, so why do you always see $npm run build  typically build is only for compiled languages.

If yes, then read on ✅

After years of building highly scalable and robust applications under The JavaScript Shop banner, myself Priyank, the Founder of TJS, decided to share my knowledge with the world. I have always loved teaching and want to now spend my time teaching the craft of writing pro JS code and building usable web applications, both small and big.

A lot of tutors, training institutes, and certification bodies focus on how the concepts work and this creates a void of WHY.

JavaScript is the world's most misunderstood programming language.

- Douglas Crockford, creator of JavaScript
  1. How did things evolve to the current state? (Why are there so many frameworks? ReactJS, AngularJS, VueJS, EmberJS, BackboneJS, KnockoutJS, NextJS and many more..?)
  2. Why did the old stalwarts go extinct? (There is no more Adobe Flash, Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft VB Script, jQuery etc)
  3. Numerous ways to build web applications (What are SPA, ISG, PWA, SSR, SSG architecture styles?)
  4. Why are modern solutions so complex? (A modern starter react application injects over 900 open source libraries)

JS, over the last decade, has been growing more and more powerful in terms of capabilities and has now established itself as a swiss army knife of programming languages, wherein you can build front end web applications, backend APIs and server systems as well as mobile applications and guess what? Even desktop applications !!

This, however, comes at a cost, the cost of understanding the language in depth and knowing the WHY behind things is high and that is what this course is all about. Without the WHY the scope of building good solutions is limited.

Some free information below which consultancies even charge for on how the above is achieved 👇

  1. Front End Applications - for all browsers - using the extremely popular ReactJS
  2. Backend APIs and Server system - using NodeJS and ExpressJS
  3. Mobile Applications - using ReactNative for Android and iOS
  4. Desktop Applications - using ElectronJS for PC and Mac
The strength of JavaScript is that you can do anything. The weakness is that you will.

- Reg Braithwaite, author of famous JavaScript book: JavaScript Allongé
