Common JavaScript & React Mistakes Beginners Make

"JavaScript is easy to learn" — but is it really? 🤔 W3Schools says so, and maybe they're right... eventually. But let's be honest — most of us had our fair share of: ❌ Undefined is not a function ❌ Why is this 'this'?! ❌ Async/await confusion at 2am JavaScript is the backbone of the web, and learning it is one of the best investments you can make as a developer. But 'easy'? That's debatable 😄 I'd love to hear from YOU 👇 🔹 How was YOUR JavaScript learning journey? 🔹 What was the hardest concept to grasp? 🔹 Would you call it 'easy'? Drop your experience in the comments — beginners, veterans, everyone welcome! Let's help each other out. 🚀 #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #CodingJourney #LearnToCode #JS #Programming #TechCommunity

I’m starting something new today. For the next few weeks, I’m going to learn JavaScript seriously and I’ll be documenting the entire journey here on LinkedIn. No skipping concepts. No pretending I know things I don’t. Just learning step by step and sharing what I understand each day. Why am I doing this publicly? Because learning in public keeps you accountable. And sometimes the best way to understand something is to explain it to others. Starting from the basics: → JavaScript fundamentals → Variables, functions, loops → DOM manipulation → APIs and async JavaScript → and eventually moving towards React Every day I’ll post one concept I learned, explained in simple terms. If you’re also learning JavaScript or you already work with it feel free to follow along, share advice, or correct me when I’m wrong. Let’s build and learn together. Day 1 starts tomorrow. #LearningInPublic #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #100DaysOfCode #Frontend #Coding

When I first started learning React, React Hooks were one of the most confusing parts for me. I especially struggled with understanding when to use useEffect, useMemo, or useCallback. Most resources explained the theory, but I wanted something more practical. So I built something I wish I had back then — an interactive, self-learning course for the most commonly used React Hooks. NOTE :- FOR BETTER LEARNING EXPERIENCE CLONE THE REPOSITORY 🔗 Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gsNN-W24 💻 GitHub: https://lnkd.in/g3h3nm9M The course covers: • useState • useEffect • useRef • useMemo • useCallback • useReducer • useContext • Custom Hooks Each lesson includes: • Simple, beginner-friendly explanations • Interactive examples you can experiment with • A section on common mistakes • Small practice challenges The goal was to make learning hooks more practical and less overwhelming, especially for beginners. I’m currently deploying it and would really appreciate honest feedback from the community. If you're learning React (or helping someone who is), this might be useful. #react #javascript #webdevelopment #frontend #learninpublic #coding #reacthooks #beginners #developer

🚀 30 Days — 30 Coding Mistakes Beginners Make Day 19/30 I left a page… and React threw a scary warning 😐 “Can't perform a state update on an unmounted component” I wasn’t even touching state. The real culprit? setTimeout. The user navigated away, but the timer still executed and tried updating state. Component gone ❌ Timer still running ✔️ Fix 👇 return () => clearTimeout(timer) Always clean up inside `useEffect`. Timers, listeners, and API calls must be cancelled. Small habit. Prevents huge debugging sessions. Have you faced this warning? #30DaysOfCode #reactjs #javascript #frontend #codeinuse

⚛️ One concept that confused me a lot while learning React was: Props vs State At first they both felt similar. But a simple way to understand it is: 🔹 Props → Data passed from parent component 🔹 State → Data managed inside the component Example mindset: Props = Inputs State = Internal memory Props are read-only. State can change over time. Once I understood this difference, React components started making much more sense. Building UI is really about managing data flow properly. React just gives us a structured way to do it. #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #FullStackDeveloper Ankur Prajapati MOHD ALI ANSARI Sheryians Coding School
