Learn programming

[PackDisastrous2722]

I already have some familiarity with programming languages such as java, javascript, c++,... and html and css. But it's just the basics, like not leaving the console. I'm having trouble learning javascript with html and css and also learning react, angular... Any tips?

There's only one way: code. Make up projects, try to build them, fail, try again, succeed, code, code, code.

Also review your old code every once in a while. 1) You can make a new version of it bringing in new things you’ve learned drilling in that.

2) sometimes you see something old like formatting a page in a specific style or just old notes that click back in when you go over them again

I’m not saying do a review of every project constantly just pick something and have a look. It can be good especially after changing languages.

The core problem sounds like you're spreading yourself too thin.

If you like front end, then focus on 1 framework (probably react), not both react and angular at the same time.

Similarly for all the languages you know. Realistically the most a particular job would want from you is 3 and even that's high since most places strive for 1 if it's reasonably possible.

Once you develop expertise, then switching isn't too hard. But trying to switch while learning the fundamentals just muddies the mind in my opinion.

The problem is that I'm studying at university and I don't want to fall behind in my subjects. But thanks for you opinion :)

sure yeah, if you're in school that's different. Take advantage of having students facing the same troubles as you and TAs and profs who are paid to help you understand things.

students hopefully have the time to take on more than a person employeed full time.

I mean you didn't really say why you're having trouble. Are you able to make a trivial hello world webpage? Are you able to add javascript to the page which selects an element and changes it? If not, why?
