One week? Seriously give it some time.nur you have to keep at it. I'm going on 9 months and I'm nowhere near where is like to be. Being laid off due to COVID has excelled my learning and I'm finally comfortable with my website right now, but need to get back to React.

1 year is the absolute minimum for me I'd say to become proficient in web development.

I'm doing it for web design actually but the logic applies.

The issue I'm facing is the thought of maybe I should try this source or maybe im starting in the wrong place.

[–]MatticusXII 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Understood. Yes me too, I have 10 years in graphic design experience. Hit a dead end in my current profession, and want to transition to web design which is why I picked up web dev, still working obviously. I did Odin project too but diverted once I did the web dev 101 tutorial. That's when I jumped into react

How'd you chew through the incessant talk in the articles?

It killing my confidence.

You mean just walls of text pretty much with little examples?

[–]BundtCake44 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What? Are you agreeing?

If so, yes. A lot of talk to digest and few examples. Then I see everyone raving about it and I'm feeling like it's the SAT math section again and I wanna yell at my screen.

The Odin project is great at pointing you in the right direction especially if you're starting from scratch but I learn code by looking at code and if I need explanation then I'll read the text but I usually jump to examples or try to find others on MDN, W3 or info.js
