Object Oriented Programming

I have no specific questions for this section. I just finished all 26 and completed each without looking up a solution or looking at a hint. I feel like they held my hand through this section by giving examples very similar to what I would have to do. Although I read everything and tried hard to understand, I have this weird feeling that if my hand wasn’t held and I was given similar problems where I have to use prototypes and have multiple things inherit the same constructors that other things in their same category have…I probably wouldn’t know where to start. Idk if I am making sense, but it’s weird feeling like I currently understand everything I just did…but also knowing if I were asked to do it without any guidance I would probably be lost. Is this feeling normal?

I think everyone feels like that :confused:
One of the reasons people get stuck in Tutorial Hell.

I like to think of freeCodeCamp as an Introduction to something.
Once I know something exists, its then up to me to ‘play’ with it.

I don’t think its really possible to learn programming with just one source, and you need somewhere to practice.

freeCodeCamp doesn’t just live on their website:
Harvard CS50 – Full Computer Science University Course - YouTube

Try looking in to Code Editors.

Well that’s a relief, nice to know everyone goes through this feeling. I agree, so far it feels like freecodecamp is a cool intro to understanding things, then the more time you spend on other courses you should become more confident and comfortable with what you’re doing. After the JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures section I was going to go straight to CS50
