Wow...I was pretty suspicious about a claim to "Learn JavaScript in 12 Minutes", but you actually did a really good job of explaining a ton of material in a short amount of time.
Man, you were not kidding, you DID cover the essence of coding in JS. As a raw beginner, I already feel like I am up and running in the language. Thank you!
For someone who's already familiar with programming concepts, trying to go through every thing in the book when learning a new language is soo boring and often I give up... But videos like these are gold mine for me, which teach exactly what's enough !!! Thanks a lot mate !!!
This has been around awhile, so you probably don't read your comments anymore, but in case you do... Thanks for such a clear, simple, and complete intro to JS. It was exactly what I was looking for.
I mean, you actually can... I learned the basics of js and css in a couple minutes each, yeah I didn’t know everything you could do, but i knew quite a lot for a couple mins
I love tutorials like this. Often, courses start with a long winded, slow introduction covering the basics that takes sometimes hours. I find however the best way to learn is by doing, especially with simple concepts, and a lot of the times it can just be learned as you work on more complicated uses.
It’s crazy how watching this a year ago I would have been lost. Now after learning python, go, and a little C I was able to understand everything shown here... I guess people like me are precisely who these videos are for. Loved your 12 minute go variable. Would like to see one in C/C++ or Java as well.
ikr... knowing python makes me comfortable in learning whats going on.... starting with an easy language is imporant... where are you now in learning all this?
I know I'm late to the party, but I want to thank you, I watched your html and css videos, then I started learning Javascript with this video, I even bought the same book on ebay, let me tell you I never did any programming and web development before, and I'm glad I'm learning thanks to people like you, who share their knowledge with others, thanks a lot.
This guy literally taught everything my introduction to software engineering class taught in one semester in 12 mins.. I was worried about passing the exam but less worried now
@M B yeah. luckily we have moved on. now the teacher assumes everyone can do everything that is required of them, and nobody complains. That's how it should be everywhere.
I'll be honest, as someone who had absolutely no knowledge about the language, but experience with others, this was amazing. I know it's 7 years later but your crash course taught me sooo much in a short amount of time.
This was exactly what I needed. It may however be beneficial to some to put a disclaimer that some programming experience is requisite to understanding the content.
i know your comments are a year old and you probably figured it out but i spent 2 months learning the basics of javascript and coding and discovered lots of terminology , this video was the massive boost i needed to where i am now , in other words this is similar to school , sometimes you have to teach yourself
This is exactly what I was looking for. I am a well versed programmer of a proprietary language, and what I was looking for was a very rapid overview of how to use variables, operators, arrays, properties, methods, custom functions, conditionals and loops, etc (the core of the language), so I could see how it differed from the language I was used to. No, I can't sit down and start writing JavaScript code today, simply from watching this video, but I now have a firm grasp of the fundamental features of the JavaScript language. Again, exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the video. For those watching, JS is not solely a client side language, it is a lightweight language that typically runs in the browser but it is not longer the sole place, things have moved a lot since 2014. JS is at the core of node and raw JS is good for Lambdas, particularly as the cold boot times are very low. It's also, very recently, the sole language supported by CloudFront functions that run at the very edge.
People expect to be able to watch this video and be experts at Java. This video is an excellent clarifier and even starter. And it's like maths, you can sit and watch videos all day but if you don't practice and experiment, you won't know a thing.
I missed my first javascript class last week and have spent about 4 hours watching various "learn javascript in an hour" videos and finished every one them as clueless as I started. Finally it's starting to make sense! Thank you! 🙌
What, this video? No it's not lol - no one who is proficient with JavaScript will find this video useful because they already know the material; it's very beginner-friendly stuff.
For someone like me, who already has experience in C++, this was really easy to understand, and it had a ton of information for 12 minutes. Narrating voice was distinctive and really satisfying to listen to. I absolutely enjoyed the video!
You have the teacher inside you. You have the ability to transfer your knowledge. Just knowing isn't enough if you want to call your self teacher. And you got that element inside you. Thank you.
This is very good because it is results-oriented teaching. He tells you the minimum you need to know to get a result. After you get the big picture, you can then go into the details. So many tutorials and teaching platforms don't get this. They start with the detail, so it takes forever before you can actually do something with your knowledge, by which time you've forgotten everything.
I took multiple notes during class last week and could not piece together everything. This video gave me multiple “ohhh” and “uh huh” moments. Great video, you got yourself a new sub.
Very comprehensive video. I decided just today that I wanted to start learning JavaScript as it would help me become a biomedical engineer. This video was very easy to understand and I love that you put in the description the different application sites so I could download the necessary apps. Thanks for you help.
Great video Jake. You have a fast way of explaining a lot of info. I already knew most of what you said but even total newbs probably came away with their heads full. JavaScript is a great language to learn as one of your firsts. Thanks and keep making great videos like this
So basically I learned more in 12 minutes here then I did in almost 45 days on free code academies online. Keep up the good work bro, this got me subbed
Actually some time ago a friend asked me to add a thing to his Discord bot (written in node.js). I warned him that I had no experience with JS but proceeded nevertheless. For my surprise the language actually was so familiar that one or two Google searches after I had successfully written a bunch of (apparently still) working code on a language I had never saw a line of code before
Thank you! I've spent days browsing courses and none of them explains the bases as simply and straightforward as this video did. Now I can actually understand what's going on and continue with "the good stuff".
This is amazing You did very good so... I want to congratulate you for helping us with Javascript! :D if(comment includes "Thanks") print("Your Welcome!")
Hey Jake, which program do you use for editing photos? I really like the way your website looks, and was curious as to which technologies you used to create it other than HTML, CSS, and JavaScript? I just know basic HTML, CSS, and Python at the moment..and I'm looking to learn more to improve my skills.
Christopher Adams I use Photoshop although I don't really know what I'm doing with it and don't do anything particularly advanced. My website uses a bit of PHP for the template but tbh I could have done without it and just complied static pages. Everything else is just HTML, CSS and Javascript (using jQuery).

I enjoyed your course. I thought it was nice. Im a university graduate with a degree in english literature that studies computer reference books and you are right in line with 101 and i appreciate that. Consider writing a text book, o reilly has a pitch page.
I increased speed to x2.0 and learned JavaScript in 6 minutes. These spared 6 minutes I was applying for a job as a Junior Front End. Writing you this from an office, day after I watched this video.
JavaScript is not the best programming language to start with if you've never programmed before; Take a crash course on HTML, then learn some a bit CSS and then you'll be ready for JavaScript. :)
code.org is the best dont go to the games though there are lessons for 6-9 and 10-12and just kids Also has lesson for html I used it and now Im decent at it
I'd like to recommend Python as a starting point. It has helped me understand the fundamentals of programming. Python is very easy to learn and there are many tutorials on line. Also, I'd happily guide you through learning Python if you could add me on discord: Woutuuur#0549

This has made more sense than some hour+ videos!
Book: I can teach you Js in 24 hours
Speedrunners: 12 minutes. Take it or leave it
You taught me the same that I do with c++. How can I put animations to my webpage?
Find a function that can help you.
javascript.info/tutorial/animation
Or just use gif images.
use img element and put in a gif file of the animation
Excellent overview of programming syntax, not just JS :)
Wow I'm digging C since 2/3 weeks and now I know basic Javascript in 20 minutes. Thanks !
I've only studied java before, and I have to say, javascript seems so beautiful.... Thanks for the video!!
I was taking a poop, saw the video and said "why not? I might turn into a expert when I get out of the toilet".

Sooo... you took a shit for 12 minutes?
Nice tutorial!
This tutorial makes it easier to understand but it's still pretty hard to understand.
hey knowing java at 6:08 ish i think you may have misspoken just mentioning. great vid.
About characters in a string being zero-indexed?
oh nevermind i misunderstood the way you spoke it now that i rewatch. Sorry and thank you.
what style do you use for sublime?
do you know which IDE is this???
Mano Sheikh sublime text 3
I enjoyed your course. I thought it was nice. Im a university graduate with a degree in english literature that studies computer reference books and you are right in line with 101 and i appreciate that. Consider writing a text book, o reilly has a pitch page.
I increased speed to x2.0 and learned JavaScript in 6 minutes.
These spared 6 minutes I was applying for a job as a Junior Front End.
Writing you this from an office, day after I watched this video.
this is cool but also feel like john maclean is teaching me javascript
No. This wasn't seamless enough.
Not quite as shellacked as John’s vernacular.
I am not knowledgable to understand even half of what you're saying. Where do I start? For example, I don't even know what an HTML is.
JavaScript is not the best programming language to start with if you've never programmed before; Take a crash course on HTML, then learn some a bit CSS and then you'll be ready for JavaScript. :)
Mathias Winnard thank you!
the pack is learning how to code now
code.org is the best dont go to the games though
there are lessons for 6-9 and 10-12and just kids
Also has lesson for html I used it and now Im decent at it
I'd like to recommend Python as a starting point. It has helped me understand the fundamentals of programming. Python is very easy to learn and there are many tutorials on line.
Also, I'd happily guide you through learning Python if you could add me on discord:

Wow, This dude did an amazing job within 12 minutes. It is very helpful if you already knows java or any other languages.
It's great video not for learning from zero but to remind and clarify basics if you know them already.
