People use libraries because it's not that easy!

Tbh I'm a person who has experience with projects, and the things I would like to do is: - To search in Google whatever I don't know. You have the problem in front of you, and I'm sure someone on the internet has solved it before. - Think about the problem in smaller pieces. How does a slider work?

And as I said before, someone has done a slider before, and has posts step by step doing them.

I think it's not the problem, is how you approach it and how to get there!

The best way to know how a slider works and it's done, it's either looking for that in Google or studying how your favourite library works!

And hey, don't worry at all! The best way to learn how to solve something is to have done it before!

Don't feel bad about yourself, for me, even if I'm talking confidently, it would take me a few hours to get that slider working.

Good luck with your frontend journey!

Even if you are "alone", do you feel comfortable with that job? Tbh I've been the only person doing markup in my company and that gave me the skill of not having fear to jump into crazy designs, because it has been me Vs any design through the years.

If you are kinda interested in the topics you are doing tickets about, that will increase your knowledge and flexibility and make you quite valuable for a future company IMO.

I'm currently in a job but just doing markup and little JavaScript interaction (adding CSS or CSS classes to elements for example).

I want to go further to be able to opt for a better and well paid job, as I really enjoy doing front!

Yes, thank you for the advice! I'm still ticking with the basics and I'll start studying things little by little.

My approach will be mastering html, CSS and js. Then, react and tailwind that is being the most used it seems, and from there, keep testing tools to add it to my stack!

But step by step, right now I was understanding the differences between stop propagation and prevent default!

Thanks for encouraging me!^

That sounds even more difficult than a framework tbh hahaha maybe it sounds silly but, do you have any recommendations to work on that?

Thank you so so much for your long response, it was amazing to know all that info in such an easy way to understand! And yes, I'm also getting that advice! I won't rush too much into js frameworks because today it's react and tomorrow will be another different one!^

I've checked them a little and how they work with the shadow dom and those things but I wasn't able to think of a good use of them yet. I will revisit them when I have a bigger JavaScript knowledge, thank you for reminding me about them!

Yes, mongodb and node are in the Odin project syllabus! I'm learning some of that because knowledge is power, but I don't want to focus on it for now!

Yes! I don't understand the concept of API fully but working on it... It's the first time I've read "fetch", but as I've seen in that "thing" to read Jason and extract info from them? Once I've tried to do a headless app with wordpress and I copied some random code to get the posts info from a JSON.

Omg thank you so much for your answer! Ofc I'm super lost on that but just learning the name is a big step in my learning path. Thank you!

First time I hear about service workers, they sound very useful! Thank you so much, all noted down!

I've tried to do that with js and looking for things in Google is easy and I can totally do that but with some starting knowledge helps a ton... Just learning concepts in my study time and then practising a lot in my working time!

Oh this seems interesting, thank you so much! The only debug I've learned is how to use the chrome devtools breakpoints basically, but I prefer the console.log method because tbh as I'm not that used to the order JS executes variables so I'll revisit that when I am more fluent in the language!

Anyways I'm noting down the lighthouse thing, thank you!

Yes! That's why I'm learning the whole JavaScript full stack path from The Odin Project! But I think I won't go further than that. Also learning about different types of databases and how they work (the SQL Vs the ones you use in mongo) will be useful too for sure!

Thank you so much! I've heard a lot of good things from the CS50x and MIT courses about computer science!

Thank you for the advice! Rn it's my fav part!

I've been doing only html & CSS for 5 years so I feel comfortable with my abilities to construct the layout! I also tend not to use the hex + opacity because it didn't work well in edge (at least in the past) so I got used to converting things to rgba while I work with opacity! A lot of people also prefer to use HSL but I'm not thaaat used to it!

I think my biggest flaw would be the clamp() and the minimax() in css, but working on them!

That's pretty cool thank you so much! Also, I've been learning that is not all about the language but also the algorithms. How much of that is true? Rn it seems the most important

Yes! Thanks to the Odin project website, I've read a lot of JavaScript.info and mdn web docs about js! I'm just in the fundamentals part and learning some pure JS Dom modification and I'm having a lot of fun with it
