they call it tutorial hell...
Thank you so much for the list of practice resources! It very hard to find them on your own
This video specifically should be as first reminder every morning/day for newbie developers.
I learned basics of frontend programming myself and got my first job about 5 years. Video tutorials were one of the several sources of knowledge. And in the beginning, videos where someone codes and describes every step were extremely helpful. Because, when you don't have a mentor, this type of videos kind of replaces it, and you have an opportunity to learn the process itself.
I’d say one of the biggest things that helped me when learning to code was reading documentation instead of watching videos, as in the real world you will be solving problems not found in videos
You've always been nothing but incredibly humble! Truly, more than your expertise, you're humbleness draws me to watch your vids. God bless you and have a great day 💜
Thank you so much for the resources!
Barbara Oakley calls this the “Illusion of Competence” in her book “A Mind for Numbers”. This applies strongly to math as well as writing code.
Thank you for the suggestions!
I love the "Misakte" instead of "Mistake" lol
Thank you very much for this especially the place I can get projects to practice with
So true. I fell into this habit when I started. Then after freecode camp I learned a bit more. Now in the Scrimba bootcamp and I'm going through your module 6 and css is now fun and easy to work with while still giving me challenges to think about. I come from a culinary background. To me now using CSS is like figuring out how to plate a beautiful dish.
Videos helped me a lot. Thanks to all 👍🏼
This is where free code camp succeeds. You actually build as you go Along
This is absolutely true and can be applied to everything, you have to get handy with it to actually be able to learn. Similar to studying and how note taking will help you in the long run instead of just memorizing everything.
This is exactly what I need!!! Thank u
This is why I found a good video to watch that goes into detail but not too much, and gives you situations and challenges to do by yourself.
Another tip: Each time you learn something new, think of ways to use it in different scenarios, think of possible usages, and try to do it yourself. When you start bringing your idea to life, you'll soon realize there's more than just what you learned that must be used to accomplish that - don't give up, start googling, searching for information, describing what it is that you want to do. All of that info absorbs better when you're actively trying to do something on your own, when you're searching for solutions and trying several different methods to do the same thing.
This is Gold!!! I really appreciate this content @Kevin Powell. Thank you!
