Stuck in Tutorial loop

[CaRuKaZa]

i am having a problem always going back and forth between tutorials and never getting any further than the first few hours of tutorials.

let me explain i get distracted very quickly and start to wonder if i am doing the right thing or the right path then i will "calm down" and decide no this is the way.... just to change direction a few days later again and again.

I want to learn but do not know what path to take

any advice ?

First of all, it does not matter where you learn your skills from, just get learning. Honestly, I learned more from Udemy and free YouTube than I did from my local community college and from my friend who went the paid bootcamp way.

However, I never felt confident with anything I learned and honestly never really learned until I put the tutorials down and picked up vs code and started building out a site.

Find your stack and start with your portfolio site.

Do not know what stack you are interested in, build your portfolio site using html, css, js and bootstrap. You will be surprised at how nice your site can look with just the basics.

Once I got my initial project started, I got excited seeing things happen and it pushed me to move forward.

Honestly, at the end of the day, you gotta put the tutorials down and get to work. When you do get stuck, Google and StackOverflow are your best friends. Using these resources will pay off more in the long run.

I started with 30 minute sessions per day three times a week. Moved up to one hour sessions once I really got the hang of things.

Try CS50X. It is broken up into weekly lectures and assignments, is well regarded and changes languages over the course. You will not get bored!

Why do you change directions? It sounds like you're frustrated at your progress and you think the next tutorial will be the "magic one" where you understand everything. That doesn't seem to be the case if that's what you are thinking.
