      "body": "![js.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV9tx1asnuJisTuNaT5WvbuuF9aSdFBatb9nPjgcTN4Ua/js.png)\n\n**JavaScript**. Most misunderstood programming language on the planet. Almost every web developer has it in his CV. But, how many people really know JavaScript?\n\nIf you're one of the older web developers (working around 2010) you know how web applications worked before. You would put HTML files in root directory, CSS in *css* folder, JavaScript files in *js* folder, add few libraries and that was it. If you wanted to do something in real time, you would use AJAX. We had jQuery to avoid struggles with cross-browser compatibility and work with interfaces. There were few interesting libraries around the corner introducing us into the mess which will come years later (Knockout, Backbone, Underscore.js) but no one thought we would come so far to build actual desktop applications with JavaScript.\n\nJavaScript ecosystem today is huge. Enormously huge. Preprocessors, transpilers, process managers, package managers, module loaders, state management libraries... are you still with me? To get the slightest idea about it if you haven't programmed in JavaScript before, take a look [at this article](https://hackernoon.com/how-it-feels-to-learn-javascript-in-2016-d3a717dd577f) (it's still relevant). For someone who is just starting out, this is frightening. What's even more frightening is that we have many people today who are sure they know JavaScript very well. And these are the people who are working on web apps we're going to use. The goal of this article is to prepare you for JavaScript of today if you're beginner and to remind you about things you should know if you're experienced JavaScript developer.\n\n## So, where do we start?\n\n**Fact #1**: JavaScript today is not the same as it has been 10 years ago. Currently, most used standard is ES6 (or ES2015). There are ES7 and ES8 too, but ES6 made a huge difference in JavaScript language with lots of new features such as constants, generators, arrow functions,  array matching, class definition, reflection etc. To work with ES6 (and newer standards) efficiently, you should learn JavaScript from the ground up. When I say from the ground up, I mean you should look *under the hood*.\n\n![meme-under-the-hood-yep-that-s-the-engine.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcW177E6G8dHEWQFJbPw1SP16rCycRPDgjzFhVEjRG5Hu/meme-under-the-hood-yep-that-s-the-engine.png)\n\nBest way to do this is to look at the series of books [You Don't Know JS](https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS) by Kyle Simpson. Trust me, you will never look at your JavaScript code in the same way. While you're there, you should check [the blog of Dmitry Soshinkov](http://dmitrysoshnikov.com/ecmascript/). There are some amazing articles on it which are going to help you with understanding language at fundamental level. Douglas Crockford is a man who got involved in development of JavaScript which means he's your [next station](http://crockford.com/javascript/) on this journey.\n\n## Wait, I don't understand anything you wrote here. Where should I start as a complete beginner?\n\nIf you never programmed in JavaScript before, I warmly recommend you [Mozilla Development Network](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/). It's probably the best source on the Internet for learning web technologies today. I'm going to list all of the topics you should learn from there as a beginner;\n\n### Basic level\n\n- [Introduction to JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/What_is_JavaScript)\n- [Writing basic game in JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/A_first_splash)\n- [Debugging](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/What_went_wrong)\n- [Variables](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/Variables)\n- [Numbers & operators](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/Math)\n- [Working with text (strings)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/Strings)\n- [Arrays](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/First_steps/Arrays)\n- [Conditions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/conditionals)\n- [Loops](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Looping_code)\n- [Functions](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Functions)\n- [Events](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Building_blocks/Events)\n- [Objects](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/Basics)\n- [Object-oriented JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/Object-oriented_JS)\n- [Prototypes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/Object_prototypes)\n- [Inheritance](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/Inheritance)\n- [JSON](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Objects/JSON)\n- [Client-side APIs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/JavaScript/Client-side_web_APIs)\n\n### Intermediate level\n\n- [Re-introduction to JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript)\n- [Data structures in JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data_structures)\n- [Comparison](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Equality_comparisons_and_sameness)\n- [Closures](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Closures)\n\n### Advanced level\n- [Inheritance & prototype chain](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Inheritance_and_the_prototype_chain)\n- [Strict mode](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode)\n- [Typed arrays](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Typed_arrays)\n- [SIMD types](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/SIMD_types)\n- [Memory management](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Memory_Management)\n- [Concurrency](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/EventLoop)\n\nWho thought such toy-looking language could be so big, huh? Feel free to check YouTube videos if you don't understand some of this concepts from the articles. After you do few projects with it and you feel you're ready to go to the next level, start with [this playlist](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLillGF-RfqbZ7s3t6ZInY3NjEOOX7hsBv) which explains ES6 pretty well.\n\n## Why JavaScript became so complicated?\n\nI would say it's because we're trying to escape from it. Let's be honest; JavaScript is quirky language full of weird stuff dangerous for production environments. There are countless articles and videos explaining this much better so I'm going to post one of them to explain my point better (although you would understand it pretty well if you ever worked with JavaScript on more serious level than building website for your neighbor).\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pL28CcEijU\n\nWe're trying to abstract it away and minimize it's usage while we paradoxically add even more frameworks and libraries into our workflow. There are three major front-end frameworks for building JavaScript applications currently; Angular, React and Vue. Each of them has it's own ecosystem and each does things in a different way, incorporating it's own philosophy. We have different languages which are compiled to JavaScript (TypeScript, Dart, Elm...). We had bower, but npm became more popular and then came Yarn which is like improved version of npm. I'm not even going to start with newer language standards.\n\nThe best way to deal with whole mess in JavaScript ecosystem is to sit down before every project and check what you really need and what you don't need. If your app could be written efficiently without using Redux, don't introduce it to the codebase for the God's sake. Don't make your life more complicated than it is. If you don't know which process manager you want to add, try few of them and choose one which works best for you. Experiment. That's the only way to survive this period (I hope it's not going to last long). Don't lose the track of new things in JavaScript community, but don't use every new framework which describes itself as the \"chosen one\" either.\n\n![1_kE61MPPrgy4u3GnDEcW6CA.jpeg]\n(https://steemitimages.com/DQmUBDf79dywefms1XeQwq7s3NPrrNbDFt8gc4jCG9Grbx8/1_kE61MPPrgy4u3GnDEcW6CA.jpeg)\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n*I hope you enjoyed this article.

      "body": "![steemit.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRgJpaXaTFinLJsSs96LHRrDKbJdqdUumPoQgJLTTcaBf/steemit.png)\n\nIt's almost a week now since I registered on Steemit so I decided to tell what I think about it; what I love, what I don't love and what should be improved. I would like to say thanks to @donkeypong and @analisa for upvoting my post [5 things beginner programmers should avoid](https://steemit.com/technology/@purest/5-things-beginner-programmers-should-avoid). Thanks to them I realized how much influence on the platform is important and what Steem Power really presents. \n\nI'm going to list good things first:\n\n- **Community** - I personally think this is the biggest plus of Steemit. Even though profit is in the game, people understand that getting respect takes time and from what I saw, most writers put lot of time in their posts. Atmosphere is much more relaxed compared to popular social networks. However, we're yet to see if this state will persist when platform becomes bigger.\n- **Services and tools** - This can be tied to the previous point too; I never saw people who were more eager to improve the platform and develop tools for it than open source developers on Steemit. This is something I noticed very early as a software developer and I hope I'll get the chance to contribute to the platform in that way in the future (in fact I had an interesting idea, but I'm pretty busy lately).\n- **Honesty** - Even though platform is still in beta phase, it's already clear that whole thing is genuine. I was surprised when I read that even upvoting bots are not prohibited (I forgot the name of post, but I'll link it here if I find it). In these days when blockchain technology is overhyped and new products and coins rise without any meaningful reason, it's very encouraging.\n\nNow, some things I don't like:\n\n- **Behavior of some \"bigger fishes\"** - This is the problem of almost every online community (I noticed this on [Quora](https://quora.com) for the first time); some people become so popular they don't have to invest much time in content they write. This results in lower quality content which still gets much more attention than high quality content of newcomers. To be honest, I'm not sure how this problem could be solved. Maybe there should be a filter which will move the spotlight to newer writers from time to time to improve their exposure to the readers.\n- **Steep learning curve** - I'm not going to live, Steemit is amazing piece of technology. The way it uses blockchain technology is awesome like I already said in my introductory video. It's quite refreshing to see something **valuable** built on blockchain in the mountain of hype around it. However, understanding what Steem, Steem Dollar and Steem Power are and what's their function in the Steemit's economy is still pretty hard. This video was the most helpful for me to understand the whole thing and I highly recommend it to beginners;\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2TU6lyu90I\n\nI can't think of anything else I don't like about the platform now. These are the things I noticed for the first week of platform usage and extensive reading about it. The only thing I can say for sure is that platform has a bright future in front of it and I'm proud I can be the part of it.\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n*I hope you enjoyed this article.

This is one of the biggest concerns of people who are eager to learn programming and in my opinion, many articles don't give the right answer / are unrealistic or they just leave one who asks such question in even bigger confusion. I want to finally give a reasonable answer to this question (although I'm most probably not the first one who did that).\n\nSo, do you need math to program and if yes, how much? To answer this question, you need to ask yourself what kind of job you want to do. Are you okay with spending your whole career as plain web developer? Or you're more interested in contributing to breakthroughs in computer science with your knowledge of programming? Okay, I may have given a bit extreme examples. But it's quite important to know where you want to go, because there are many different routes. I'll ask different question; *do you need math to live fulfilling life today* ?\n\nProgramming **is** one kind of a math. Every program you ever wrote could be described mathematically as it boils down to 1s and 0s which machine understands at the end. Loops, vectors, functions, variables; these are all terms which are well known to mathematicians. Galileo described math as language of the nature in his famous quote *The book of Nature is written in the language of mathematics*. And he wasn't far from truth. Math is so big and as a result of that it became impossible for individual today to learn all of it. Even greatest experts in math today, like Terry Tao, are mostly focused only on certain fields of it. And guess what, they also have fields in which they're struggling! If you don't believe in all of this, [watch this interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXJ-zpJeY3E).\n\nEven social sciences today use math for prediction and analysis of certain phenomenas. If you would like to get slightest clue on how vast the world of math is, take a look at this very interesting video:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmJ-4B-mS-Y&t=588s\n\nOkay, enough with praising math. I hope I pumped you up at least a bit with this glorious speech about math. But let's return to our question. Yes, you **can** be a programmer without knowing much math and yes, you can definitely live fulfilling life without knowing advanced math. But, I think that avoiding math would leave you behind many great things which are happening in our world today. How many times per day you hear about blockchain, machine learning, big data? There is lot of math involved in all of this fields. You can't become a serious blockchain developer without understanding how blockchain truly works. You can't become a serious machine learning engineer if you don't know what matrices are. Even as a web developer, you may stumble upon the things which are solved efficient only with the use of more advanced math than one you learned in your primary school.\n\nLook, I understand why you're scared of math. Many people are. I was deeply frustrated with it since my earliest age as I never had someone to tell me what it really is. In school, I got no opportunity to look at math in the pure sense of it, but as something which is necessary to pass. Math was always a burden to me and struggle continued in higher grades and later in secondary school. I had to get private classes because I learned nothing at school. And all my teachers were confused because I was a quick learner and I understood all of explained concepts pretty well. They were shocked when I told them my grades; mostly Fs and Ds. Later on, I realized there were too problems with my math problem; *lack of practice* and *fear*. I think these two are probably most responsible contributors for fear for math in average population. \n\nSo, better ask yourself this question - what stops me from learning math? Have I really tried hard to understand it? Math builds upon itself a lot, and if you try to learn one concepts before you learn base of it (for example, you want to learn trigonometry without understanding basic geometry), you will fail miserably. That's what happened to me, and that's what happened to millions of people around the world, and that's very sad. My first advice for you is to start to program right now and see if you like it. Then, question where your stance on mathematics comes from. It may be the boring professor from school who forced you to learn long theorems. Or traumas you had when you were given an integral to solve. My final answer is therefore, you definitely need basic math (adding, subtracting, multiplying and division, as well as understanding percentage and basic number theory) to even start to program and you need advanced math if your field requires it. But don't look at it purely as a need. Better look at it as an opportunity to see naked beauty of the world around you in the purest possible terms. Math you can learn today on the Internet was once in history enough for PhD in math. Isn't it amazing?\n\n-------------------------------------------------------\n\n*I hope you enjoyed this article.
