Hi guys!
I’m trying to retrain after going a LONG time without learning anything new. I was a musician in the old world but since THE EVENT I’ve decided to learn to code. I’ve booked myself on to a boot camp and they showed me FCC to get the basics before I start at the end of September.
I did quite a bit of HTML when I was in school, built my own website etc. but I never went any further. CSS is very doable for me, I get what I’m doing after a fashion and I can see how it works.
Then there’s JavaScript.
I JUST DON’T GET IT. I’ve done w3schools.com’s basic JS, I’ve nearly finished the basic JS module on here by reverse engineering the answers to quite a lot of the challenges, but I just feel like I’m missing something. The syntax of JavaScript is breathtakingly difficult and I’ve just got to the “Testing Objects for Properties” part of the JS module and I don’t even know what it’s asking me to do. What I need is a mentor but I’m scared that if I don’t pass this I won’t get one, which is a kind of catch 22.
I don’t even know what I want by posting this, I just want to vent I think. Or get some lessons with someone? Or something? I’d like to think I’m a clever guy but I haven’t been made to feel this stupid in a very long time.
Frowny face single tear.
