7,823 Pointsrecommended javascript methods to know?
I'm hoping an experienced front end programmer could give me a list of methods that are commonly used and that I should know, that werent covered by the videos. There are so many methods and I doubt the videos covered all the commonly used ones. I'm not use which one to memorizes to create a better javascript foundation.

The common utilities and functions that you will use will depend on the style that your teams prefer and what you are tasked with focusing on. What you use heavily one week may not be used at all the next week.
As Jacob noted, the ability to look up the APIs for various tools is important. If you work in an agency managing multiple projects, you will probably be dealing with completely different libraries/frameworks. If you know the name of a method in jQuery, but your project uses Underscore, the ability to look it up is key.
A library-agnostic list of functions that I would suggest getting familiar with, however, are: map(), reduce(), filter(),

It also has links for working with nodes and Events.
I hope this helps.
