■ JavaScript Roadmap 2025 (Updated)

1■■ JavaScript Fundamentals

■ Goal: Understand how JavaScript works and master the syntax.

Introduction to JS:
- What is JavaScript, how it runs (Browser + Node)
- Linking JS to HTML
- Console & debugging basics

Variables and Data Types:

- var, let, const
- Primitive vs Reference types

Operators:
- Arithmetic, Logical, Comparison, Assignment, Ternary

Control Flow:
- if-else, switch-case
- for, while, do-while loops

Functions:
- Declarations, expressions, arrow functions
- Default parameters, rest/spread operators

Scope & Hoisting:

- Block vs function scope
- Hoisting rules for var/let/const

Objects & Arrays:

- Object literals, destructuring, nested objects
- Array methods: map(), filter(), reduce(), find(), forEach()
- Template literals
- Type Conversion & Coercion

■ Practice:
Build simple programs — calculator, palindrome checker, number guessing game.

2■■ Intermediate JavaScript (DOM, Events, and BOM)

■ Goal: Learn how JavaScript interacts with the browser and HTML elements.

DOM (Document Object Model):

- getElementById, querySelector, innerHTML, textContent
- Create, update, and remove elements dynamically
Events:
- click, input, change, submit
- Event bubbling, delegation

Form Handling:
- Validation, preventing default, reading inputs

BOM (Browser Object Model):

- window, navigator, history, localStorage, sessionStorage
- CSS Manipulation with JS

Timers:
- setTimeout, setInterval

■ Mini Projects:
To-Do List, Image Slider, Quiz App, Countdown Timer

3■■ Advanced JavaScript Concepts

■ Goal: Master behind-the-scenes JS behavior and modern ES features.

Execution Context & Call Stack

Closures & Lexical Scope
Prototype & Inheritance
this keyword, call(), apply(), bind()

Async JavaScript:
- Callbacks
- Promises
- async / await
- Error Handling (try...catch)

Fetch API & HTTP Requests

JSON Handling

ES6+ Features:
- Destructuring, Spread/Rest, Optional Chaining
- Modules (import, export)
- Arrow Functions
- Classes & Inheritance

■ Mini Projects:
Weather App (Fetch API), Joke Generator, GitHub User Search
4■■ Data Structures & Algorithms in JavaScript
■ Goal: Learn to solve problems efficiently and prep for interviews.

Topics:
- Arrays & Strings patterns
- Objects & HashMaps
- Recursion
- Stack, Queue, Linked List
- Searching, Sorting
- Sets & Maps
- Big-O notation
- Basic Tree & Graph concepts

■ Practice Platforms:
LeetCode, HackerRank, CodeWars (JavaScript track)

5■■ JavaScript in the Browser & APIs

■ Goal: Learn how JS powers modern web apps.

Topics:
- DOM Events + Fetch API Integration
- Working with APIs (REST)
- Async/Await + Loading states
- Error handling & UI updates
- File Uploads, FormData
- Browser Storage (localStorage, IndexedDB)
- Web Workers & Service Workers (Basics of PWA)

■ Projects:
Weather App, Movie Search (OMDB API), Notes App (localStorage), REST API-based
