Two months ago I began a fullstack course; first month HTML + CSS: peace of cake; three weeks ago JavaScript. I feel like I hit a wall with my face at 300mph. I cried.

Thanks man, just new into the field and whenever I think about building projects my mind literally just blacks out but hey we all gotta push ourselves no matter what.

For those who are struggling to learn Javascript, like I did for many months, this is what made me learn:
Start practicing from the very beggining. Even if it's just copying a few lines of code that you see in each lesson. Much more effective than just taking notes.
I know this because I tried everything and the only way I could learn (and retain what I learned) was when I started doing that.
Once a friend suggested me a few books with interactive content, that made me practice what I learned at each chapter.
Edit: For those asking about the books I mentioned, these are the best ones:
"Javascript In Less than 50 Pages"
"Head First Javascript Programming"
If you are into learning Python, I love "Smarter Way to Learn Python".

The plateaus are real. You hit a wall and feel like you'll never get past it. But then the solutions come to you and the feeling of triumph is amazing. It makes your day. One of the best (and worst) parts of writing software.

Great tips Andy. Subscribed 2 years ago and your insights have always been extremely helpful. All the best bro👍👍👍

This is great advice for how to learn, just in general. I am a self-employed electrical / mechanical engineer and the learning never stops. I need to take a more formalized approach to upping my Python skills, and want to learn Javascript too. So I'm going to take some of your advice. Great job!

I don’t know why everyone always glosses over how difficult chaining methods can be… or the mental model you need to have to know when to dig down into other objects or constructs by chaining multiple functions together. Almost every single tutorial I’ve seen just assumes this is a given that someone understands and glosses right over it.

The way you explained steps is amazing, thanks for the advice, the video was great, keep making such helpful videos.♥️

Andy, thank you for the plan, I was a bit lost how to start, now feel more confident after your tips. + friendly community in the comments)

[mitgelum]

This was very helpful, thank you. I liked how you structured the projects leading to a main more complex goal.

[Happyfxs]

Thank you for the advice! I've been learning to code for about a month now and I love the progress I'm seeing from the course I'm taking. However, I am scared of reaching that hard phase where I won't know what to do or write and I'm scared of job interviews. Hope it goes well. I'll keep trying my best

[rfkekvm]

Thank you for your tutorials and advice man. Its helped me so much!!!

[CodingApothecary]

Thanks again! Have done a ton of data science research & and self-study. People always wondered why I didn’t delve too deep into one language. Now that I clear vision for my side business, I'm going to practice for the next few weeks then look to start up both my mobile app & full stack. Thanks for the recommendations!

I wrote php for a long time. When I finally decided to learn Js, I was surprised to see how close it was in many ways to php

[jamesbandz]

I've learned HTML, CSS/Tailwind(kinda not fully), JS, and now moving on to React. I say "learned" for me is more like I no longer rely on tutorials. If I'm confused I now use the internet or documentations.
