Hello guys!
I’m new, but also not so “new” here. I’ve used ffc 2 years ago, got demotivated from people saying that If i want to become a “pro programmer” I need to first start off with the cs50 or edx micro masters courses…
( to be honest, both those courses do my head in, the wrong kinda way- that I’d rather punch my face…sorry but it’s super boring…hope I’m not the only one…it’s just too slow…)
So, I’ve dabbled my butt back into Freecodecamp. Since this is a site that really gives you a basic idea of how the code works by making you write it out, however my problem is i feel like it’s all good and dainty i’m writing all this code, but i don’t think I’m going to be able to implement the thousands upon thousands of html/css tags and stuff… how am I going to implement this and get it in all crammed in my thick skull? at the end of html and css, there is 5 projects you can do, but what else can I do as a project? how have you guys learned web dev? You only learn from actually building, but then how do I know what I want to build? do i look at other people’s sites and be like, “Imma make what you’ve made without looking at your source code” or?
The mystery is:
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN AND IMPLEMENT THE EXERCISES YOU DO ON FCC… I really want to remember everything… Right now, learning web dev is the most important thing for me… my dream isn’t to just learn web dev, it’s to be great and love web dev… but I feel dumb as a rock…
all these people talk about their humble beginnings, but never the method of how they retained their info, their way of how they learned, what they did to remember, practice, what was usefull with their journey as a total begginer…
everyone talks about how from 0 they became 100, but not what they did in the start…
am I confused?
