Learning JavaScript for Front-End

Hello everyone! I found out there are lots of "type of" JS out there or at least lots of way to use JS. What are the "must know" part I should definitely learn as a Front-End student. For example as I know Node.JS is rather for Back-End but what about Angular etc. I've just started learning JS and sometimes it's not easy to navigate among the videos.. :(

Your best bet is to just stick with the Beginner JavaScript or Full Stack JavaScript tracks that treehouse has put together. That is the purpose of tracks. To help students navigate the order that they should be watching the videos. If I were you I'd start with one of those, or maybe the Front End Web Development track. You'll find that the tracks share some of the videos too.

Unless you know the subject matter I wouldn't recommend skipping videos either

After you finish these you can delve deeper into React, Node, Angular, etc.

Start with the basics. Learn some JS. Then I think you naturally get into jQuery. From there on you can explore more frameworks.

This course: https://teamtreehouse.com/tracks/front-end-web-development

is a good start. If you already know html/css well you can skip those and just look at the JavaScript inside this track. Just be curious and dont forget to learn by doing. There will always be more frameworks for you to learn, but don't overthink it - just start coding!
