How to Learn JavaScript
I'm an oldskool dev who shys away from 'the new shiny' because I've learned the basics of JS and you can get pretty far with the fundamentals, despite the allure of these rather expressive frameworks that get released every week now.<p>Frankly I get more joy out of writing bookmarklets, Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey scripts and customizing websites with various CSS 'userstyles'.<p>I also prefer SFTP and still enjoy uploading PHP scripts with SFTP and then building out some barebones CRUD app in my free time. Again, I shy away from the new shiny like GraphQL and things like Docker or Kubernetes etc.
