What's realistically achievable in 3 months

With intensive practice (2–3 hours a day, no long breaks), 3 months is enough to build a confident grasp of JavaScript basics: variables, functions, arrays, objects, loops, and basic DOM work.

That's enough to solve simple practical problems and build a few small projects — but usually not enough to be fully ready for a junior position.
