Hello Humans,
I have been working on coding for a couple of months. I have been working with JavaScript, Python, and HTML. I’m completely lost on most of the forums, but I’m starting to understand. I just wanted to know if there are any tips for learning on a website like this.
This search engine does everything a programmer from 1970 wanted and more.
Most great code is about simple solutions.
You can learn far more from a guy like me than any educator or course.
My stuff is practical and the solutions were what set me apart.

Going on for over 8 years so I don’t want to bore you with all it.
"nobody shares knowledge better than this’
I agree with focusing on one thing at a time initially. For me once I started focusing on python I noticed my coding ability definitely improved, but I also think you should try and incorporate coding into tasks you perform daily. For me, I started writing a lot of scripts to streamline some boring excel stuff at work.
I don’t think there is a simple, clear path. There are so many technologies on the web that inter-relate and depend on each other that learning is often a confusing mix of multi-tasking and a lot of “I’ll have to learn a little bit of these other three things just to get to the next level on this…”
I say just embrace it. Just keep learning. Perhaps you focus on one main thing for a while, but you are going to have to take some side trips. Yes, it’s a confusing mess. But so is web dev. If it could be reduced down to one language/framework/library, it would have happened. Just embrace the confusion and learn. Bit by bit it will start to make sense.
