Learning JavaScript Deeply Using MDN — Need Guidance
I don’t know where you are in your overall journey of learning to program. If you have a strong foundation in other languages, then the guide is probably okay. If not, I would suggest starting with something like Eloquent JavaScript that will include some good practices. JavaScript has evolved over time and there are some scary pits hiding in there. It can make more sense to start with how the language is actually being used and then do the deep dive to understand why. Without having that context it is a little like learning how to drive by reading a car’s repair manual. More on reddit.com

December 6, 2016Hey everyone, what are your thought on Javascript MDN documentation for studying javascript?
MDN is widely known to be used as a reference. However, they do have tutorials on web development which encompasses the fundamentals of Javascript. I would recommend looking at the MDN tutorial section to get a comprehensive understanding of Javascript fundamentals, but supplement it with other sources like FreeCodeCamp and YouTube when you finding yourself confused by jargon or examples. Overall I consider MDN's tutorial section to be really comprehensive overview of the Javascript language, concepts and application, but each developer learns differently. Sourcing your education with multiple sources helps clarify gaps in knowledge. Be warned that MDN'S tutorial section is incremental! You have to read it in-order to get a comprehensive understanding of what's going on. Especially if you are new to programming. More on reddit.com

r/learnjavascript on Reddit: Learning JavaScript Deeply Using MDN — Need Guidance
January 31, 2026 -
I want to learn JavaScript in depth, and I strongly prefer reading documentation rather than watching video tutorials.
I’ve decided to learn JavaScript mainly from MDN Web Docs, but I’m confused about where to begin:
-
JavaScript Guide: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide
-
Learn Web Development → Core → Scripting: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Core/Scripting
My goal is to gain strong conceptual and internal understanding of JavaScript, not just surface-level usage.
My questions:
-
Which of these two paths should I start with for deep JavaScript knowledge?
-
In what order should I follow MDN to become really strong in JavaScript?
-
Is it okay to post learning-path and documentation-based questions like this in this subreddit?
Any guidance from experienced developers would be really helpful.

Read both, I don't understand how you think "learning deeply" doesn't equal "reading everything"

I have a CS degree, but little experience in JS. My goal is to get a webdeveloper role. Do I just work my way down in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Tutorials ? I find the html and css dump first a bad way to learn but use MDN all the time anyways to look things up. Other info, currently doing Udemy's Zero to Expert and after this plan on doing OdinProject. Thanks in advance

I use it as a refresher all the time. MDN has lots of helpful pages like Using fetch() . Or if I want to know exactly what I can expect in the response object, pull up the reference and read through it.
