Which JS-Course to start

There are several courses on JavaScript. What can you recommend for a beginner?

Or actually where are the differences?

Hi,

What Hugo Paz said. On basics, you just learn important think , some of them I believe. Its like you learning basics of fighting but its not enough .

You have to have a solid understand how to fight . So In foundation , you will all ways learn everything , or most of it and be ready for more if you get me.

I though that basics is also good if you don't need JS for example but you have to copy and past other code and customise it for your own so you know how etc..

In foundation you start actualy learning all from the beginning.

its up to you witch start really . When I started with basics on ruby , I found that some videos were the same as on foundation and I found going throw it is frustrating because I was just covering that 1h ago .

If your like me, I sugest to start with foundation , and go throw basics. But in basics you will get better understanding on the foundation other hand. Its up to you how you learn :)

Hope this helps.

Hi Timm,

Javascript Basics is more recent and covers most of what Javascript Foundations teaches, with the exception of objects.

On the other hand it goes more in depth regarding conditional statements and functions so it is a good starting point.
