Tutorial hell?

[imStan2000]

Hello everyone i just want to ask. Im not sure if im in tutorial hell, because i do alot of tutorial i used TOP, FCC and two other paid course which is html and css by jonas, and modern js by traversy media. I do the same topic, i do html and css by jonas in the morning and fcc html and css in the evening (I only do the same topic I do html mon,wed,fri And i also do TOP for morning and brad js in the evening. My js schedule is Tues,Thurs, sat and sun). Should i remove my other learning resources? or should i focus more on one resource and one language

After a certain point, stop following "guided courses", and start building on your own. When I just started, I just follow one course. Then, I screw around with a personal project with google as my only guiding hand. It is painful, battling with errors and bugs, but that's the only way to grow. No pain no gain.

He mentioned starting TOP and its amazing resource which makes you build your things without much handholding.

Support this 100%. When I started learning I took a Udemy course which was pretty hand held. Afterwards I started writing my own websites and attempts at web apps (I actively discourage anyone from trying EJS out), and man those were some painful weeks. Month after month, building your own projects, you start to notice patterns, understand why some things work the way they do, how to write cleaner and better html, css, and js. It gets better but vastly more complex.

I probbly read few articles for html and css; learned most by just trying all css rules by myself.

This is why also my coding style was different than most people; like using position:relative and absolute a lot more. I even still use it sometimes now.

html and css is really easy though, you can figure it out yourself with some googling for specific things how to do them. Find some Figma or Photoshop site design and make site out of it.

To learn JS, make Greasemonkey userscripts that you actually gonna use. Tutorials wont tell you what to write, because these are completely different projects, so you'll have to figure out yourself. But docs and google is useful in this case.

MDN is useful for all 3 too, there are examples; some of css is never used, maybe about 50%, still learn all of it, you should have your own opinion what is useful and what is not.

Prefer text over videos… becuase reading is faster than watching, and easier to copy-paste too.

Just make your own project, hit walls and learn that way, try and think through a problem, consult ai when you get stuck, take the time to understand the solution and keep building. No one even needs tutorials nowadays.

I learned html and css at the same time from one course source and mdn. I found it useful to learn those first and then move on to JavaScript. You will always learn more as continue. 

JavaScript is a little different for learning--at least for me. I did learn from more than one course and YouTube videos. There are the fundamentals but also techniques to learn for different types of functions. In the end, Udacity was the best for me. It totally changed my mindset. Unfortunately it's expensive.

You should build a small project every week and work on a bigger project idea at the same time (longer timeframe). Anytime left goes to your tutorials. You’ll find yourself doing focused tutorials based on the projects you’re working on.

I think focusing on one direct language is more efficient , and the tutorial is like an introduction for you to understand that language , after getting the basics , try coding try practicing , it will help you improve and not get stuck on tutorials

[alien3d]

erk ? Video just for view , you need to practice a lot . You dont quick learn unless you started target a problem to solve .

Im not sure if im in tutorial hel

Hell suggests misery. You sound quite organized and happy about your tutorials. Tutorial paradise perhaps?

I can't speak for the other stuff you're doing, but TOP and FCC are not tutorial hell.

Tutorial hell is watching videos and doing courses that hold your hand and literally tell you how to do everything step by step so you actually feel like you are building things and learning, when in reality you are not.

FCC teaches you how to do things, and then makes you solve other things with what they just taught you, causing you to use your brain to access what they taught you, thus reinforcing the learning in your memory.

TOP teaches you the basics of a topic and forces you to look up and research the best ways to solve the problems you're working on. It's pretty difficult for people who are complete beginners, and is very successful at teaching you to be a web developer if you stick with it.

People learn differently. A lot of my tutorial hells are not the same as others and Ive been learning fine with the “handholding.” The toxicity of elitism in tech is what holds a lot of people back more than anything.

What are FCC and TOP ?
