Learning a new language as an experienced dev

Posted by pwuadi on Wednesday September 21, 2022 @01:28PM
from the self-post dept.

I will need to learn JavaScript as part of a new project at work. Been a while since I switched languages, any advice on how to pick up a new language without having to learn what a variable is as most tutorials do today?

P.S Switching from Java to Javascript if that helps

Choose a programming project and learn by programming it in javascript using a language manual.

Besides, javascript is so simple a language that you could probably learn a lot from just reading someone's code. That could get you started. From there consult the manual as needed.
