JS Radar is a curated repository of JS knowledge that guide users towards quality sources, enables individual users to track their progress and displays their progress through a radar chart.
JS Radar is developed by learners for learners. It solves 2 big JS learner pains:
New starters can be overwhelmed with content. JS Radar guides you through from the building blocks to more advanced topics by providing curated, quality content. There are a lot of free (and paid) coding tutorials, books, videos and more out there. JS Radar distills the best bits down and guides learners on a development path.
Are you comfortable with topic x but have a blind spot for topic y? By graphically showing you where you still need to improve, JS Radar pushes you towards unfamiliar ground that you need to master to become a JS ninja.
Users are provided with curated content for each subskill which they can use to learn about that topic. They then self-assess whether or not they think they have mastered it and use the content provided (or other content) to do so. The percentage completeness for any skill on the chart is based on the percentage of sub-skills that the user indicates are complete for that skill. Skills on the chart get progressively harder as you go clockwise but sub-skills do not have to be 'completed' in any particular order.
JS Radar needs you to help find quality content, contribute to design and feel, and to write and review the code that powers it.
