Comprehensive JavaScript Roadmap

This roadmap is designed to guide you from a beginner to an advanced JavaScript developer,
covering foundational concepts, tools, libraries, and frameworks for real-world applications.

1. Foundations of JavaScript
1.1 Understanding JavaScript

● What is JavaScript?
○ A high-level, interpreted programming language.
○ Enables interactive web development.
● Key Features:
○ Event-driven, functional, and object-oriented programming.
○ Runs in the browser and server environments (Node.js).

1.2 Prerequisites

● Basic understanding of HTML and CSS.

2. Core JavaScript Concepts


2.1 Basics

● Variables and data types (var, let, const).


● Operators (arithmetic, comparison, logical).
● Conditionals (if, else, switch).
● Loops (for, while, do-while).

2.2 Functions

● Defining and invoking functions.


● Function expressions and arrow functions.
● Callback functions and higher-order functions.

2.3 Objects and Arrays


● Object creation and manipulation.
● Arrays: methods like map(), filter(), reduce().

2.4 ES6+ Features

● Template literals, destructuring, spread/rest operators.


● Modules (import/export).
● Promises, async/await.

3. Advanced JavaScript Concepts


3.1 Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

● Classes, constructors, and methods.


● Prototypes and inheritance.
● this keyword and binding.

3.2 Functional Programming

● Pure functions and immutability.


● Closures and currying.
● Functional patterns like composition.

3.3 Asynchronous JavaScript

● Event loop and call stack.


● Callbacks, Promises, async/await.

3.4 Error Handling

● Using try-catch blocks.


● Throwing custom errors.

● Browser Developer Tools for debugging.

5.2 Package Managers

● Using npm or yarn to manage dependencies.
