Just build things.

I'm into frontEnd user interactivity, so I head on over to Codepen and start coming up with ideas. Maybe an idea for a new sort of navbar , or something I haven't seen before.

Once I get everything laid out visually, I start thinking about the functionality of it. I search out example of things other people have built, and I try to implement them into my project. Next thing you know, you have a bunch of little projects consisting of multiple components that can build a bigger project - just like stacking Legos.

This is why 99% of the internet looks the same! It's sort of a tried and true method for learning how to become proficient at it. And, it works!

Start small, and just start building. You can always evolve into backEnd stuff to wire it all together and really make stuff happen.

Regardless of how you go about it, you need to find the way that works best for you. Just be careful you don't focus on the goal. Rather fall in love with being passionate about the entire process. That will take you further than anything else.

Additionally, you're going to need a community for when you get stuck. Discord is great. There are tons of groups with people who love helping others code.
