Whether you like it or not, this age is of Javascript. Many of the new age technologies and frameworks are using Javascript as their primary language. Initially, it was used only on the client side for web development, but now it has moved to server side (node.js anyone) and even to mobile app development (sencha touch, phonegap, telerik,etc.).
As the use of Javascript is increasing, more people are looking out for good resources for learning it. We have curated a list of top 10 videos to help everyone from beginners to non-experts, learn JS.
- Ok, we said 10 videos, but no JS video list is complete without the famous Crockford series. So first in the list is the playlist consisting of all these videos.
