Help about learning JS course

[pei]

Hi, I just completed the edx cs50 intro to python course (to start off with an “easier to read” language) & am now picking up JS for web dev. I’m feeling really lost trying to maneuver around this course, as I expected a learn by reading/video type followed by homework (very school-type learning). https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/javascript-algorithms-and-data-structures-v8/

Any tips on how best to go through this course:

1. Do I go through it exactly from top to bottom?
2. Do I start by copying the code and learning/figuring out by this method?
3. Would learning from any other resource make things stick easier or is this “you dont need to read, just crack your head & code” approach easier?

Would appreciate any advice esp from someone who’s in web dev!

It’s intended that you start from the first step of the first project, yes.

You should read what text is written to go along with each step. It should be showing up on the screen

this is what I’m seeing. is that right?

Yes, that is what the course looks like
