?? JavaScript Basics Before Frameworks – Why It Matters?

If you’re diving into web development, you’ve probably heard of React, Vue, or Angular. While these frameworks are powerful, jumping straight into them without understanding core JavaScript concepts can lead to confusion and bad practices.

Why Should You Learn JavaScript First?

? Better Debugging Skills – Understanding how JavaScript works under the hood makes debugging easier.

? Stronger Foundation – Frameworks evolve, but JavaScript remains the core of web development.

? Less Reliance on Libraries – Many tasks can be done with vanilla JavaScript without extra dependencies.

? Smoother Learning Curve – Once you master JavaScript fundamentals, picking up any framework becomes effortless.

What Are the Essential JavaScript Fundamentals?

Before diving into frameworks, it's important to be comfortable with concepts like:

?? Variables (var, let, const) and Data Types

?? Functions, Scope, and Closures

?? DOM Manipulation & Event Handling

?? Asynchronous JavaScript (setTimeout, fetch, Promises, async/await)

?? ES6+ Features (Destructuring, Spread Operator, Template Literals)

?? Error Handling, Debugging, and API Calls

Mastering these fundamentals will make your transition to frameworks smoother and improve your overall development skills.

Stay tuned as we explore these concepts in detail in the upcoming posts!

?? Tip: If you’re already using a framework, take a step back and test your core JS skills!
