The Free Resources I Used to Review Javascript

| Eloquent Javascript | chapters 1-6 especially | Book (free online) |
| Codecademy | Intro to JS Course | interactive(text) |
| Fullstack Acadamy | The bootcamp prep has a free option | interactive(video) |
| Codewars | focus on level 7/8 | gamified algorithm exercises |
| Youtube | the most dangerous of all resources | passive (video) |
What I did
I read Eloquent Javascript in the morning with my coffee, highlighting and working through the exercises up to chapter 6.
I completed the entire intro to JS course about one unit per day (pro is free for 7 days if you want to do the quizes/‘projects’)
I completed the entire Full-stack free boot camp prep course. I found the videos excellent and completed all … most … some of the example problems.
I did 1-3 code wars problems everyday at level 7/8
and…
I got in
At the end of the day, there are many other great resources like freeCodeCamp .
But try not to get lost in finding the perfect resource.
just focus on
one line at a time.
You got this…👍
