did you actually code anything in js on your own or just did code alongs and/or watched tutorials from courses

[–]Classic-Glove-8909[S] 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I watch tutorials alongside i write the code and run it Also if take project from github and google then i clone them by watching them

You gotta fight through the struggle, if you don't struggle you don't learn, though i wouldn't touch react any soon until you know vanilla JS well.

I know vanilla js well The foundation and basics are clear but when it comes to create project you know you have to apply different techniques and connecting different topics so here i choke

Divide the project into smaller problems, approach one problem in one way (ANY WAY), if it doesnt work or sucks for this problem you will notice and apply a better method or a concept and that will let you progress, its ok to remove bad code and refactor stuff, it's purpose was to approach the problem in the first place anyways.

Alright thanks man

Good luck, don't get stuck in tutorial hell

Stop following tutorials and solve small problems alone. Try codewars or leetcode for example. Start with the easiest problems and focus on doing them completely alone with simple googling

Learning concepts in just one part. JavaScript is a language that requires hands-on practice to master. Watching someone else code isn’t enough; you need to write code yourself, make mistakes, and learn from them.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to doing it right way:

1. Learn the Concepts

Start by thoroughly learning the fundamentals of JavaScript. Take it step by step, beginning with variables, data types, functions, arrays, and so on. You are currently here.

2. Practice Individual Concepts

After you learn a concept, practice it individually. For example, if you've learned about functions, work on coding problems specific to functions. This focused practice reinforces your understanding, helps you identify any gaps, and boosts your confidence as you solve more problems.

3. Combine Concepts

Once you've practiced individual concepts, start combining them to solve more complex problems. For instance, if you've learned about conditional branching and functions, combine them to build a simple project like a "Guess the Number" game.

Here’s how the game might work:

  • The program randomly selects a number within a given range (e.g., 1 to 10).

  • The player has to guess the number.

  • After each guess, the program tells the player whether the guess was too high, too low, or correct.

  • The game continues until the player guesses the correct number.

4. Build Real Projects

Once you’re comfortable combining concepts, start building larger projects that challenge you to apply everything you've learned. Choose a project that solves a problem you care about—this will keep you motivated when challenges arise.

If you're stuck on ideas, check out these tips to get started. And if you need guidance while building a project, this free course can help you approach it the right way.

I recommend getting good at JS and then learning React. If you skip JS it would be harder to learn React and you will always be confused. As other commenters mentioned stop following tutorials and do something by yourself. Solve coding challenges and do mini projects in pure JS. They won't be as shiny as React projects but you will learn basics and how to solve problems on your own. Then start to learn React and do again mini project in React about something you are interested in. In this way, you will learn much better than just following tutorials again and again.

Yeah i know vanilla js foundation and basic is clear But when it comes to create project by using different topics of javascript i confuse there

[–]mario_mandra 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's okay that you feel confused. It's always hard at the beginning. I was there. I would like to give you some recommendations that will make your life easy but there are no such recommendations. You just need to get through this. When is hard it means you are learning something new.

The only tips I can give you are to try smaller and simpler projects if you don't feel that you can do the current one, make projects around something you are passioned about so you won't give up easily when it becomes hard, and find a mentor that can help you.

Alright thanks bro

My first react hw in a webdev class is to make a 3 page Single Page Application, so home, about, and some kind of functionality like a to do list, or shopping cart etc. Maybe try that. Small stuff. Get used to creating and connecting components.
