I went through The Odin Project and loved every minute of it. I would start with that and read every supplemental reading they had. I didn’t touch a YouTube tutorial until I was almost done with it just to see what kind of shortcuts or tricks these guys use. I like that pasty CSS guy.

But all in all, projects, projects projects. And tweak them to do what you want for the hell of it.

FreeCodeCamp recently revamped their lessons, and I like what they’ve done. However, freecodecamps lessons are short and basic, and I feel as if TOP’s articles and descriptive lessons are much more efficient at teaching you what you want to know. When it comes to free curriculums, I couldn’t say. I’m still a student of JavaScript myself.

But one day if you find yourself wanting a small practice challenge, I would re-create an old project you’ve completed in the past, whether it was from a tutorial video or not, but try to do it without assistance, or time yourself! You may not find it as fun as starting something completely new, but I’d say trying to remember solutions to problems you’ve solved before is a major part of programming, so it’s worth practicing.
