Tell me how much time it takes to reach the level of understanding the essence of the js language and start writing your own scripts at least somehow. I know that answers will begin right now, depending on what desire and how much time I am ready to devote to training. I want to have time, I also have 3 hours for training a day, but there is one but. When you sit like a nerd for an hour studying, this is very annoying. What methodology can be used when studying so that you don’t get bored quickly and how to avoid theory and start practice

To get started, you already have everything: in any browser, you can write a simple expression in JS type right now 5 + 6and get the result. For example, in FireFox this can be done in the Developer Console (Ctrl + Shift + K) or in the interactive notepad ( Scratchpad Shift + F4). Those. you don't need to install anything on your computer.
What to do next to make it interesting is too individual to suggest. For example, I am fascinated by the generated graphics. I wrote a formula, rules, and a beautiful pattern is generated. To do this, you should google about canvas, or deal with Processing JS .
You can make the simplest, for starters, very primitive HTML5 games that you can upload to VK or Telegramso others can try them. Doing something in demand by others is also a great motivation to develop.

A couple of hours - and you can already write some scripts. The technique is very simple - you need to make it interesting yourself. If this is not interesting to you yourself, do not waste your and other people's time in vain: anyway, significant results cannot be achieved with this approach.

If you know a little English, then there is an interesting service for interactive learning of JS - javascript-roadtrip.codeschool.com/levels/1/challe...

10 minutes is enough to start writing simple scripts. Well, then delve deeper into the structure of the language and try to implement something that is right for you. Then there will be a sense.
PS If there were standards for understanding the language, then "effective managers" would have long ago demanded from everyone the most quickly mastered language.

Study only in parallel! Either you read first, then write from memory... Theory without practice is just a waste of time and effort!..
