JavaScript Astonishment : My experience
I started learning JavaScript 5 month back. I cleared my understanding of JavaScript language complications. I built some browser based apps (https://github.com/anil26) and started becoming confident in the arena.
But reading only plain javascript did not help in visualizing the whole full stack development. Then I started reading a lot of source code of different libraries e.g jquery, two.js, backbone.js. But still things were like bizarre for me.
Nights were very lost in thoughts, what should i do to get a grasp over full stack development. I moved on to node.js, learnt it thoroughly. Read lots and lots of articles regarding full stack development. I was coming across lots of keywords like express, sass, ejs, middleware, react, flux, redux, browserify, webpack, gulp, grunt and many many more. My life was again hell. But slowly and slowly I implemented each one of them independently. I was implementing small projects that were explained in the different articles. I started getting hold on the full stack development ecosystem. Now I know lots and lots of tools that can make my life easier when I am on my full stack development sail. I know there is lots and lots of things still to read and understand, but writing here helps me remaining motivated.
Hashnode is a very good platform which also helped me immensely. The people in this community answers your questions to the best. It was like my home tutor always. I had a doubt in the night, I just visit Hashnode and throw my question and by the time I am done with my sleep. I get amazing answers.Thanks Hashnode :)
This arena seems very absurd and non-friendly in the start, but once you are communicating your thoughts to right people, you get your path.
Now I keep on playing with different npm modules, dev tools, templating engines. I feel a lot of ease playing around here :)
Do we have any websites that can give me the feeling and exposure of full stack development using all the tools, libraries etc I learnt?
