Take small steps:

1. Usually, novices try to become Jack of all trades but end up being masters of none. The ecosystem of JavaScript is pretty vast, so you have to work out a system of studying it step by step. Your roadmap might look like this: Internet – HTML/CSS – JavaScript – GIT – React/Angular/Vue

2. Dive deep into the base
You might face some pitfalls on the project, so when studying different examples of the code, pay attention to the suggested solutions and always analyze them.

3. Put everything into practice
Check out these two resources if you want to put your coding skills to the test: codewars.com and leetcode.com

4. Provide clear and descriptive names for your variables
While writing a computer program can be a lot of fun, looking over a program you wrote nine months ago, or a program someone else wrote can often be confusing. Writing clear and understandable code helps make your life easier as a programmer.

5. Be ready for life-learning
The Tech industry is extremely fast-pacing, so you have to be able to keep up with everything.

Feel free to share your experience of learning JavaScript.
