Forgive my intrusion and I am a beginner with absolutely no idea about coding whatsoever. I know basic C and C++ coding and I want to learn JS. Is there anything I require to learn before learning JS?

If you know already the basic of a language like C you’ll be amazed by how “faster” you can start playing around in JS.

Many concepts you have learned in C will be transferred to JS… so my suggestion is to just start learning it! 🙂

you can simply start on freecodecamp exercises

I don’t follow though what you mean by having “no idea about coding whatsoever” despite knowing basic C/C++ - do you mean no idea about web development?
