Scripting for the Web

Javascript & jQuery for Platt College

January 17, 2020

Best YouTube JS Channels

Find below a collection of JavaScript channels available on YouTube:

Programming with Mosh is a YouTube channel that has a lot of different examples of programming languages including JavaScript. The videos are fairly easy to understand and good for beginners.

Free Code Camp also has several languages to learn available, including JavaScript.

Close Brace as its page says: For JS Developers by JS Developers has a robust list of videos. Its first video is array.find() so this is for a more intermediate user. Still a good option to look at and listen to especially as you develop as a developer.

Traversy Media has a large playlist of tutorials for JS, HTML, CSS and other web development topics.

The Net Ninja has a couple of different playlists for JavaScript as well as JS libraries like node, vue and react. There are other web development topics as well.

Learn Web Code is another all purpose web development video channel that has HTML, CSS, Responsive Web Design, WordPress and… yes. JavaScript/jQuery.

Brad Hussey’s jQuery Playlist is a series of videos on how to use jQuery events and methods.

Web In Action like a number of the other dev channels listed on this page, has jQuery, but also has PHP and mySQL, which you will be learning later at Platt.

Coder’s Guide has a JS playlist that I have linked to. There’s a bunch of other web dev topics like Laravel and WordPress as well as Bootstrap.

Code Damn has a playlist for basic JS tutorials, but there are other playlists for chrome extensions, web hacks, node JS, angular, react ans android app development.

Wes Bos has some great tutorials on his website – but his YouTube channel leaves much to be desired for the JS beginner. I’d go to his site, sign up for JS30 which is free and do some of those things. JS30 is a playlist on his youtube channel which is why I list his channel here. The thing to be aware of for JS30 is that its not really for beginners. Get some experience before diving into this one. His CSS Grid list is good and there is a playlist for web dev tutorials, which is a grab bag of different coding tutorials.

Fun Fun Function I watch from time to time and I love MPJ’s humor. He has interesting thoughts on things, but he’s not really for a first timer. There are some good playlists like ‘Top 8 Developer habits’ and ‘Must-Know JavaScript Features’. Save this channel for later to dive deeper into ‘Object Creation in JS’ and ‘Functional Programming in JS’.

Random Quote:

A good standalone plugin can also make you a fair amount of money. Many developers make a decent living by simply maintaining and updating one or two crucial plugins that are far better than anything available for free. — Robert Duchnik, jQuery Plugin Development In 30 Minutes
