I have some knowledge in Java,C,Python
I recently started watching Coding Train, and really found his topics (p5.js) interesting, so I decided i wanted to learn JS. From what he did in his videos, its not that different to Java, C or Python, most of the practices are similar.
However, i started the Leetcode 30 days of Javascript, am on the 2 question and already completly lost. JS suddenly seems so different to other languages, people are using weird syntax ive never seen before**.** one thing that tripped me off especially was "toBe: (val2) => { toBe: (val2) => {" on the 3rd question
Is that course good to learn JS?
Are ther any other resources to learn JS that you could recommend more?
I'm a full stack web developer in Javascript with about 3 YOE and I'm trying to switch to big tech or a fortune 500 company.
I recently started LeetCode prep and been using JS as my primary language since I have the most experience with it. However, I noticed a lot of the LeetCode solutions in the discussions (especially the top ones) rarely use Javascript. The common languages I've seen are Python and Java. I'm wondering if these questions could be solved more concisely using Python or Java especially since Javascript lacks
some built in data structures (e.g. stacks, queue).
I'm thinking of switching to Python or Java. I had experiences with both in university, so I just need to brush up on them. However, I'm not sure if it's bad practice to use a programming language that you've never used in professional work or personal projects. Also, I'm not familiar with the expectations around this especially in big tech companies with DS/algo focused questions as opposed to domain focused interview questions. What have your experiences been on the expectations around this?
