Studying JavaScript fundamentals is important, but practice is even more important.
The word "study" can be a bit of a mislabel. Studying JavaScript fundamentals is important, but practice is even more important.
We specifically look for:
- language syntax and code structure
- familiarity with data types (objects, strings, arrays, functions, etc) and how to manipulate them.
- ability to break down compound tasks into logical steps
Things that come from study: language syntax and code structure; familiarity with data types (objects, strings, arrays, functions, etc)
Things that come from practice: familiarity with how to manipulate data structures; ability to break down compound tasks into logical tasks.
