State of JavaScript 🗳️

The annual State of JavaScript survey has finally dropped! And we are happy to share that Scrimba has been listed as an official entry in the Sites & Courses section. 🥳

We would REALLY APPRECIATE it if you could take the time to complete the survey so that we'll get some "votes", as we want to show the world that Scrimba is a growing and vibrant community for people who love JavaScript 🙏

✨ PS: if you send a screenshot of your submitted survey using this form, we will send you a free 1-month coupon for Scrimba Pro! 😎

Town Hall 🏫

We hold a public Town Hall event on Discord every Tuesday, in which we share successes from the community and answer your coding, career, and Scrimba questions!

Here’s a summary of this week’s discussion:

🎄 We are only on day 9 and there are already over 5000 messages across the various JavaScriptmas channels here on Discord. You can join in the festive fun here​

🏆 This week’s newly-hired Scrimba students

🔎 The code review of the week

Discussion: 🤔 Why do code reviews? - It’s the perfect way to pool your knowledge and get the bootcamp experience for a fraction of the cost. Plus, you’ll learn a lot in the process of giving a review.

Discussion: How much should you study when learning code? - Learning code is a long game, not a cramming session - make sure your study is sustainable and you also take good, restful breaks.

Look out for the #🏫townhall Stage channel on Discord every Tuesday! 👀
