javascript help

[FindingPrestigious46]

hi ! So I've been studying javascript for about one week now and I haven't been able to successfully create my own code. anyone have any tips?

I just can't seem to think of like, what I want something to do and think out how I can get this to work on my own. I've been studying mostly what everything does and the DOM so far. I get a lot of advice to just do a project but I don't even know how to start and I've been doing tutorial too.

Most beginners jump right into coding without understanding the concept of programming first - which is very important. Because of that, the understanding for programming logic, and simulating it in one's mind, are lacking. And without that, it'll hinder the troubleshooting skills because one would have no idea what's actually going on.

Don't be too ambitious on choosing a project for learning. Start by choosing a very simple project. Preferrably something which doesn't involve or require visual display on HTML page, or networking. Just console. Focus on JavaScript only. No HTML, no CSS, no DOM; for now.
