Quick questions: are you going to release any advanced JS course in future :D ? Something that goes beyond YDKJS, JS Allonge and all those well known beginner books? Can you recommend any books (advanced JS or w/e) please ? I just love reading book related to JS cuz they seem to be the one stop answer to most of my questions :D

I did try to read tests but, still couldn't make sense of the code :sweat_smile: , but ill try again, one piece at a time :) Thank you so much, always wanted to have an AMA with you :D

Hi Brian, I'm a huge fan of your Comp Science in 4 hours book! It was the truly amazing with no BS. :D > My Background: I'm mainly a JS dev, been a Junior dev for an year now, I've completed YDKJS Series, JS Allonge, Will Senatnce and your JS Courses (all of them) on FrontEnd Masters. > My Goal: I wanna be an OS Contributor but am having a really really hard time making sense of code that i havent written > My Question: How can someone get familiar with new/complex codebase like that of React, Webpack? Or more like, how can someone get advanced Javascript knowledge to able to understand complex code? I've heard people saying i lack practice but how do i even practice something like that? i just cant find anything anymore that can help me. Thanks a lot for reading, have a great day :)

If you're talking about breaking errors then as of react 16, error boundaries seems to be a nice way to handle errors and show users alternative views.

TDD means writing tests first, so write breaking tests first. This will be slower than usual development but it'll help you in the long run. Your code will be better as well as you'll be forced to write testable code so you'll end up with overall better code. If you've never done testing before there's a workshop video by kentcdodds on YouTube, that video helped me a lot 😄

XD that was a nice answer thanks a lot, Without frameworks i think i can make simple websites. But not SPA type. And i've not used CSS Frameworks too much btw. I write most CSS myself at work except the grid system.

Thanks for the answer. I did complete JS30 already. And i'm kinda sick of doing courses now. I've done Complete Web Dev Bootcamp by Colt Steele, Complete React,redux by Stephen Grider, Egghead's Course by Kent C Dodds and some others. I dont know where to find a mentor though :D

Yeah i did look at OS Code for small libraries like rimraf. I understood most of the code but couldn't find anything to contribute. I'll try my best to challenge myself, currently i've started implementing Data Structures and Algorithms cuz they are super hard for me. But i actually wanna learn how to build tools as well. Thanks a ton for your answer :D

Thank you so much for the answer. Before React i learned pure vanilla JS for about 6 - 8 months building small stuffs and completed a JS30Day challenge by Wes Box. I know and use BEM at work, <b> <strong> differs in Semantics I did do Vanilla JS projects Calculator, Pomodoro no ES6 just old school JS but they weren't progressive. ARIA tags are for accessibility purpose (for screen readers) Dont know about Dirt Flag, XOR-encyrpt though. I do read blogs pretty much everyday related to JS Design patterns, functional programming intro, React Component Patterns. By giving answer to all your questions im not trying to be arrogant, just validating my knowledge. If im wrong anywhere i'd appreciate your feedback :) And i apologize if i sounded arrogant. Maybe i should try to build an SPA with Vanilla JS cuz i have no idea how React Router is doing its thing...
