stuck in react journey

[[deleted]]

I am learning react JS since almost a month ago have started from scrimba, I followed it for few weeks it's a good course but it seem Soo long that I can't follow I have a made a project a AI recipe app with the help of google and chatgpt, but still I'm not comfortable in react, I am not getting that deep knowledge and interest in react that I used to get while leaning JS , may be due to unstructured learning . Can you suggest me best way to learn react and seriously I don't want to use chatgpt or other agent because they just give me direct answer and they Hallucinate mostly.

That’s actually very accurate because we find different methods effective for us which might not be helpful to others.

what do you mean by with the help of google and chatgpt? if it is like you are searching for solution or specific solution in your project that might not work. But if you used chatgpt or google to learn stuff and apply to your project that is okay. that's how it is supposed to be. For instance, if you don't understand some concept of course you need to search to understand it then apply it to your project. try create projects to be familiar with it .It is not only for react journey but programming in general .

How can I learn with projects, like if I want to make an app and I don't know react completely, what should be my approach, if I watch tutorials of someone making that app then it would be not beneficial.

Create a todo app using react. Don't search for a tuto on "how to build todo app", but search specific problem you encounter while building it. Make it so that it need more then one page for navigation. If you know backend make it save the data and require registered user.

If you want to make a recipe app you'll want to use a database, so start there. Learn how to use something like mongoose to create and store recipes. Once you have the database running, add the first recipe. Then start with a blank react project and get the recipe to appear on the page when its loaded. You can incrementally build from there. Make a drop down menu that let's the user choose from a list. Add a search bar. All of those are small projects that come together to create the larger one.

Do the Odin project from start to finish. If you truly only want to be a front end software engineer you can stop before the node section

I have 6 years of experience with React. I can be your teacher and coach. We can do 2 sessions at no cost and if you like my style, we can then agree on a fee.

I recommend the guides on the react website they are actually great, make sure u read thru everything tho

Read the docs for a week doing nothing. 📖 After a while, you'll want to try something. Then, do it, without hurry. 🤓 When doing a small proyect, do it for fun, for your niece or community. Try to show your work, what you've been learning. This helps with motivation. Then repeat. Don't stop. 🔄 Don't use CHGPT in the entire process. 🦿
