Do i have to know Javascript to start the course?

[zioForas]

me and my partner jumped into front end development about 3 months ago from no experience and just started learning react a month ago, but we only know the basics of javascript; is it okay to jump into the course? does it teach the necessary javascript to follow along as a beginner or should we be more experienced with javascript to not be overwhelmed?

You can totally take this course with basic javascript knowledge(even I did, and finished the course), If you still get stuck along the way you can always watch a short tutorial on that particular topic and come back again.

@zioForas : You don't have to learn advanced or complete JS, for specifically doing this course,

If you want to learn JS as an addition, Yes sure feel free to learn it,

But if you already knew basic JS, That's Awesome!, and trust me you will do great in this course!

Just follow along with the course, Patrick is very good in explaining everything,

And you already even knew some react that's help full as well.

So, Good luck and Happy Learning!

Thank you for the answer and motivation I'll start as soon as i finish my opensea clone project for the portfolio

@zioForas Yes! It is definatly fine to continue the course with any programming language basics. There is nothing that Patrick did not explain (even JavaScript parts) and this course is more focused on Solidity/Blockchain so you will not feel difficulty understanding anything.

And this discussion tab is always available to you, so you can ask anything!

I had the same question in the beginning and believe me you just need to have basic knowledge of JS and even If you don't have that you can start the course and complement your studies with some extra tutorials available online to finish this course.

I started this course with zero java script knowledge , but i faced some issues in the way because of that so i had to pause the course , and i took that 3 hours JavaScript course from code academy , and then i took another long course of javascript so i can have a good understanding of what we are doing in the course , the first 2 videos are enough if you don't want to dig that deep .

if you have very low programming knowledge, I would recommend you :

1- Take this beginner JS course from freeCodeCamp : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkZNo7MFNFg&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org

2- understand Asynchronous JavaScript with this this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYb_ZU8LNxs&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org

3- {Optional} this course is very interactive and gives a good start for interacting with the front-End using javaScript : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS4aFq5-91M&ab_channel=freeCodeCamp.org

I think if you take the first 2 courses will have a great understanding of JavaScript and it will make taking this course a lot easier , the 3rd course is optional but it brushes what you learned in the first 2 courses and it implements it on the front end , I know this might take a bit of time but it is worth it , DONT FORGET TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU LEARN

if you have any more questions feel free to reply
Best of luck
