Hello developers, this is my first ever post on this community channel and will try to pin down all the needed. :)
After trying my hands and getting done with C++, Core Java and some parts of Data Structures now looking ahead to take a dip in the waters of Full-Stack Web development as I am quite familiar with the basics of frontend i.e html+css and having a firm programming background, so now is the time to go for it.
No matter how much Ace-programmer you are, one will start a new language with a simple Hello world program. because we are programmars we start at 0.
I am a c++ guy and after such a long term romance with c++, declaring the variable's type was the only thing I know but javascript shot me blank, I was flabbergasted by the fact that javascript doesn't require any data type you just go and declare that guy ( var name='abcd') or (var age=12) you are done.
I was happy and sad both happy because no dealing with those headaches of declaring the types and sad because will miss my old friends.
Also, learnt about the basics of concatenation and printing the value out.
made some programs on temperature converter, simple interest.
Conditionals are quite similar to the previous languages so no new stuff in that.
I found javascript pretty amazing language but yes just, for now, also I have heard about the horrors of it. nevertheless, we as a programmers just keep incrementing :).
Note- any suggestions on learning javascript on getting on full-stack would be highly welcomed and appreciated
Adios.
Anas Khan.

Not declaring types was also weird for me at first. Also coming from a C++ background (though not really extensive) there are a lot more nuances in javascript you'll run into that will be hella confusing.
Like you I'm also aiming for a future in full stack development, and I'm currently learning React, then later the MERN stack. Web development is much more fun than desktop/cli in my opinion and I'm loving every bit of the journey. Good luck in yours!
hey @bcodds . yes I am waiting for the same mind-boggling twists of javascript :D Web development is something that you feel the power of actually creating something. It has got gravity. I will also go for React after my basics :) thanks for the reply hope we will connect in future. good luck.
Hey, I'm a beginner like you who started to learn javascript, I like your story and I'm pretty sad I wasn't started to learn programming with c++ or java. I just want to share, maybe you haven't know this yet. It's about the weird parts of javascript here's the link youtu.be/LYFTGQuwlh8 . Sorry if my english is bad, anyway i'm from Indonesia.
Hey @ramanavami !!
Thank you for the reply, and yes c++ is a great programming language and it's my favourite till this day. You should go and try your hand at that. Competitive coders really like c++. and by the way Thanks for the help I will soon check out this link :)
