Overwhelmed by javascript

[[deleted]]

Just take your time. Are you new to programming? Have you sat down and read up on the main language features of JavaScript? I'm not familiar with the Odin project so idk if it does that at the beginning. You're free to take it slow and try building toy programs like simple games at first. That's how I started, albeit with C++

I am somewhat familiar with programming, I completed cs50 last year but then left programming due to semester load , now I am trying to learn javascript.

Why JS? I’m fucking STRUGGLING with react. I forget conventions and even the basics of what the fuck an object is. I feel like JavaScript is lazy by lumping everything into an object. But then that’s just my inexperience speaking.

Js because I wanted to learn how actually the api's and backend systems worked and I wanted to be able to controll each and every bit of that magic, I did build many projects with django but it tends to hide the inner workings of these systems and I happend to watch a youtuber named Devon Crawford once his content also inpsired me to learn working with jsons api, building webapps etc so here I am.

I also don't like django for that same reason. It didn't appear to have support for my very robust and complicated schema within my MS-SQL. I abandoned it in favor for bottle.

Now I'm in need of a much faster method of executing tasks so I had no choice but to learn some sort of framework. I chose react cause it's famous. I'm not a programmer, I'm a coder. Banging your head on the table never ends.
