The influencers in my JavaScript world

I owe much of the progress I've made with JavaScript to these people and their education and inspiration. If you are new to JavaScript, then follow these people, and you won't go wrong ( as long as you put the work in, of course, 🤗🤘):

Kent C Dodds

Invest in Kent's EpicReact and JS Testing courses. Kent is a kind and encouraging star in the JS world and always replies to emails. With such a huge following, I find this incredible. Kent also publishes his invaluable wisdom. https://twitter.com/kentcdodds

Cassidy Williams

Cassidy is prolific in the JS world. I love Cassidy's teaching style and her humble nature, which only increases my admiration. Cassidy creates humorous video memes that always raise a smile. https://twitter.com/cassidoo

Chris Ferdinandi

Chris is another kind and communicative JS star. Invest in his Vanilla JS Academy. Chris is an advocate of the lean web, and he is an inspiration with a daily JS email that he publishes. Highly respected. https://twitter.com/ChrisFerdinandi

Todd Motto

Chris Ferdinandi introduced me to Todd. To my amazement, I discovered this cool Google Expert lives just an hour's drive away from me in the UK. Todd has become a personal friend. There is nothing this dude does not know about JavaScript, and his Ultimate courses are superb. https://twitter.com/toddmotto

Pete Heard

Pete created Logic Room, and he teaches engineers how to architect and test their code without the coupling issues that frameworks bring. I invested in a personal coaching programme with Pete, which I highly recommend. His expertise and accountability style is so effective. https://twitter.com/pteheard

Will Sentance

Will is an incredible educator. He created Codesmith ( based in the US ), and he teaches at Frontend Masters. With a beautiful sense of humour and rapport with his students, you will learn so much from Will. https://twitter.com/willsentance

These people have taught me so much—and, just like they have with me, I hope to pass my learnings to a JS developer that may not be aware of these great people.
