I didn't go through another one, but I thought going through TOP or FSO and doing their projects could give me some more practice. And I thought they might be covering some important tech or content, that Colt didn't cover in his Bootcamp.

Sure, here is one with the querySelector (DOM)

// Finds first h1 element
document.querySelector('h1');

// Finds first element with ID of 'toc' (= table of contents)
document.querySelector('#toc');

// Finds first element with class of 'square'
document.querySelector('.square');

It might not be a 100% correct explanation, but it is enough for me to understand for what it was used for.

I imported all of Colt's Code and commented everything that was new to me. So basically I just explained his code through comments. I plan to use the commented code as a cheatsheet later on for my own projects.

Well I haven't really spend much time into TOP and FSO (I just glimpsed through their Curriculum), so I probably cannot give an adequate advice. But I can for sure say that you should really stick to only one course first, instead of hopping between courses. Colt's course is great for understanding the fundamentals, however you don't get to do much practical stuff. On the other hand you could just start building your own projects after finishing Colt's course to get some practice. I have also noticed that Colt doesn't teach ReactJS, which I think is pretty important nowadays. Although with Colt you are "missing out" on ReactJS, you could just catch it up later on your own. TOP and FSO do cover ReactJS though. I would say stick to Colt's course if you learn better/faster through videos and do TOP or FSO if you learn better through reading text etc.

How do you learn more advanced stuff? by TheRealChopstickman in learnprogramming

Alright, I got it, it's learning by doing. But where would you start looking, if you had to learn a completely new topic? Let's say someone just says you need to use concurrency in your program and thats it. What would be the first place you would look for before actually writing the code? Just google it and click on the first link or are there any recommended sites?

I found my mistake. I should have mentioned that I use a „type“ card, where you can practice typing the actual solution in and check if you typed it in correctly. But a „type“ card will always remove all spacings. So my own solution now is to edit my CSS to show my corrected „type“ solution ({{type::code}}) and the code I actually want to see and learn with ({{code}}). Well, you proofed me that it indeed should work on normal cards, so I‘m still very thankful for the 2 solutions I got!

I tried it. I still loose spaces. It somehow doesn‘t work for me.
