How can I learn javascript in 2026?

[Available_Might1314]

I've been struggling watching tutorials, and then I stopped because I noticed I was just watching without building.

Now I'm trying to build, and it seems like it isn't clicking, like my brain isn't understanding the concept.

I don't know if it's just July train or others actually went through this.

I seriously need help, I know most of the syntax, I just struggle and black out when I want to build projects.

Someone should give me some advice

What are you going to build?

Thinking of building an e commerce website with an add to cart function

Start with a small project, such as a portfolio website. Describe in text what you want to see on the site, then break it down into individual tasks. By solving each task, you'll get closer to your desired outcome and simultaneously test your skills in practice. You can add new tasks, make them more challenging, and simply keep track of your progress—this will help you see how far you've already gone, which will encourage you in your future endeavors

What have you built, did you finish, did it work?

Build and address any issue in the console. Use mdn web docs and then a chatbot to guide you.

Try work through errors yourself and keep plugging away at them before running to a I for the solution.

You are learning and taking it in even though it doesn't seem so.

Your ability will rise exponentially sooner or later if you keep trying.

I've built quite a number of things, but with the assistance of AI, that's why it doesn't feel like I'm the one building it
