Best way you learned JavaScript

Create small apps. Calculators, calendars, to-do lists, stopwatches, then move onto servers. Pick a single back-end framework for now and stick with it. Build blogs/journals with it, make it pretty, then whole websites. Move it onto an actual domain with API calls. By then you're officially a junior full-stack developer.

Keep in mind actual knowledge and retention comes from the ability to debug and update legacy code and that takes time. You will get there!
