JavaScript is hot and booming. It's a solid choice if you're just deciding what to focus on. But it can be a bit overwhelming at the same time.

1. Understand raw JavaScript

There's a big difference between developers who can use popular tools and frameworks like React, Vue or Angular and developers who know JavaScript inside out.

2. Read quality content

There's a reason academics and intellectuals are often labeled bookworms rather than screen rats. Browsing through tons of low-quality tutorials and videos won't get you very far. Most of the time you don't even concentrate while reading or watching. Turn off your phone, isolate yourself for a few hours and read it.

3. Get familiar with different frameworks

Play around with all the popular frameworks out there. The list seems to change from day to day, but you can't go wrong by checking out React, Vue, Angular, Gatsby and Next.js.

4. Understand HTML and CSS

Don't forget that HTML and CSS are the foundation of the web. The building blocks. All you see are HTML elements with some styling.

5. Respect experienced developers

I'm ...
... always surprised to see young developers who don't respect their peers or don't bother to listen carefully. Young people often shout at established names on forums and social media because they think they know better.

6. Be curious, investigate and gather knowledge

This should be the most important personality trait of any serious JavaScript developer. The world of JavaScript and technology in general is changing rapidly. Keeping up with the latest and greatest is one thing, but don't forget to also strive to have a solid understanding of current solutions, tools and frameworks.

7. Write code and write something else

At the end of the day, you want to make sure you write code, write code and write more code. An auto mechanic doesn't become an auto mechanic by listening to his teacher. They become skilled when their hands are dirty and their faces oily and greasy as they try to loosen a hard-to-reach bolt.
