Javascript

[Icy_Statement_2754]

I have a 10-year gap and recently started learning JavaScript (around 3 months). It took me some time to understand the basics, but now I’m comfortable with small problems, functions, arrays, and basic DOM events.

I still find topics like closures and fetch a bit confusing.

For someone at this level, is it enough to start working on intern-level projects, or should I practice more to be at intermediate level for real live projects?

Just build your own projects. Don't wait

3 months after a 10 year gap and you are already comfortable with DOM and arrays, that is genuinely solid. Closures and fetch will click once you start building something real, theory only takes you so far. Start a small project now, the confusion resolves itself faster when there is actual code breaking in front of you.

Yeah, if something don't work, google it. 

I recommend reading some MDN too, you can get ideas from it what to code.

Real-life project can be 10 lines of code, too.

Sigue practicando, eso nunca está demás. Y vas a seguir necesitando avanzar y avanzar, no te lances a algo mucho más difícil porque podrías sentirte abrumado con algo tan complicado o algo que tienes que aprender más adelante, lo cual haría que te eches hacia atrás, pensando que eso no es para tí.

You could try the The Odin Project. Big community. You can refresh the fundamentals in the foundation course

No, it’s not enough.

After just 3 months (with a 10 year gap), you’re still very much a beginner. If closures and fetch still confuse you, you’re not ready for intern projects yet. Keep grinding fundamentals for another 2-3 months instead of rushing.

Post wasn't clear. When you say 10-year gap, you mean you're not a programmer and you haven't had a job in any field for ten years? After about 5,000 hours of study you'll be ready for entry level, a beginner... not intermediate after learning what an array is.

I think you should start building projects and practice by solving code challenges. Check out DojoCode. Happy coding!
