Common Mistakes When Learning JavaScript

❌ Mistake 1: Mixing var with let/const

In modern JS, always use let and const. Forget about var.

❌ Mistake 2: Not Understanding this

The this keyword in JS works differently than in other languages. Study it separately.

❌ Mistake 3: Ignoring Asynchronous Programming

Async/await scares beginners, but you can't work with APIs and servers without it.

❌ Mistake 4: Jumping Straight into React

Master vanilla JS first. Frameworks without understanding the fundamentals will cause pain.
