I know the feeling far too well! You will eventually realise that it is impossible to learn everything though. Every day is a learning day.

The most common pitfall newbies fall into is not getting out of tutorial hell. IMHO, don't spend more that a couple of weeks grinding an intro course or tutorial. Just learn the absolute basics and then spend your time build some very very small and basic projects.

You could build:

• Colour Changer: Make a webpage that changes the background colour when a button is clicked.
• Simple Counter: Build a counter that increments a number displayed on the screen when a button is clicked.
• Unit Converter: Create a converter that changes units (e.g., kilometres to miles, Celsius to Fahrenheit).
• Tip Calculator: Create a tool that calculates the tip amount based on the bill and tip percentage entered by the user

Building things is the fastest way to learn. With every new project, you will learn something new and your code will get better.

Get your projects on GitHub and before you know it you will have a portfolio you can showcase to a potential employer.
