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).
