[Part-1] 10 things to ‘really’ understand to become an effective JavaScript developer

I have learned React, Angular, and developing on NodeJS (Server-side javascript developer) using a variety of techniques over time, and if I look back, I would have done it a bit differently. This is how I would go about to start learning the right way.

This is not a series on how to learn a front-end framework or library, but how to be a better JavaScript engineer.

Here is how we are going to cover this in 3 parts:

Whether you are going to develop React applications, server-side javascript applications (on NodeJS for example), using TypeScript, using Class-based components or Functional components, let’s first master these 10 things, and be comfortable with the syntax.
