Great article! I love how concise yet comprehensive the crash course is laid out. I’m particularly excited to dive into the Node.js section, as I’ve been wanting to improve my backend development skills for a while now. I have a quick question though: do you recommend focusing on both JavaScript and Node.js intensively for beginners, or should one start with JavaScript first before diving into Node.js?
Thanks for the insights – definitely embarking on this 30-day coding adventure!
For beginners, it’s best to start with JavaScript first before diving into Node.js. Here’s why:
JavaScript Fundamentals → Node.js is built on JavaScript, so a strong foundation in JS (variables, functions, objects, arrays, ES6+ features, async/await, etc.) will make learning Node.js much easier.
Browser vs. Server Differences → JavaScript is primarily a client-side language, while Node.js is used for backend development. Understanding JavaScript in the browser first helps clarify concepts like the DOM, event handling, and APIs before shifting to server-side logic.
Easier Debugging and Learning Curve → JavaScript has more beginner-friendly environments like the browser console and interactive tutorials. Jumping straight into Node.js might overwhelm beginners with server-side concepts like package management, file systems, and APIs.
