Is JavaScript: The Definitive Guide still relevant?

Or has JavaScript changed so much since then that some information in it might be false?

Looking for a Study Partner – React, TypeScript, Node.js & React Native

Upvotes

I’m looking for a study partner who wants to learn and revise JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Node.js, and React Native from the basics to an interview-ready level.

What I’m Looking For

- Start from the basics and gradually move to advanced topics.

- Cover everything needed for technical interviews.

- Practice coding, concepts, interview questions, and projects together.

- Stay consistent and keep each other motivated.

About Me

I already know some of JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Node.js, and React Native, but I’ve forgotten quite a lot of the basics. I want to start from the beginning, revise everything properly, and build my knowledge again from start to end.

I have already started studying and I’m eager to continue. I’m mainly looking for someone who is also serious about learning and can study together consistently.

Time Zone

I’m in IST (Indian Standard Time), but I don’t have a fixed time limit.

If you’re interested, DM me your time zone and the time you’re usually available, and let me know when you can start.

Looking for someone who is genuinely interested in learning together rather than just joining for a few days.

Day 8 — Adding Power-Ups to My Browser Game

Upvotes

Day 8 of my browser game development journey.

Today I worked on adding power-ups to my JavaScript game.

I'm experimenting with:

• Temporary speed boosts

• Extra points

• Health recovery

• Random power-up spawning

• Collecting and removing items

• Mobile-friendly controls

I'm trying to understand the logic behind these mechanics instead of just copying a tutorial.

What other power-up would you add to the game?
