Hello, I’m tryna get into web development but I don’t know Js at all. I come from being pretty strong in Java but JS is completely different. How should I go about learning JS? Anyone got some resources or good courses? Also what’s the best way to learn Next js once I am good in JS? Thank you!

In developement you can't just start by watching a youtube video or ask other people and follow every step the guy in the video does or someone said to you. That works, until you get an error. So start by learning the basics and then one after another. Right now it seems like you are learning React, Nextjs, Typescript, (Libraries), JSX, (Javascript), CSS, HTML.

That's way to much to start. So, start with the basics: Javascript, CSS, HTML. Then go in the advanced direction: JSX, React, important Libraries. And then go in the OP stuff like: NextJs and Typescript.

I learned all these stuff from this guy: [Codevolution](https://www.youtube.com/@Codevolution)
Very much recommended.

For the beginning I recommend you, you using his crash course, for the topics I wrote down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8YMl4Ezp4g&list=PLC3y8-rFHvwhuX4qGvFx-wPy_MEi6Jdp7
Please do it, else you won't make it that long in programming
After this playlist you know the basics of webdevelopement and can start big projects like a ecommerce store.

Enjoy the developement journey and best of luck ^^

sure thing. Keep in mind, that an ecommerce store is hard even for experienced developers. Auth is not that hard, but you need to understand it to have no vulnabilities thought your app. So make sure to start slow and raise your skills one after another. That's learning, right? 🙂

If you got the basics that I said and you want (and can) go into nextjs use their learning series: https://nextjs.org/learn
