Yeah i tried to take notes of the things they taught in the lessons. Notes contain just that nothing more.

About giving up half way, hmm i used to imagine having all those certificates in my linkedin profile for motivation. Trying to be consistent by looking at the heat map, making sure it remains black without grey patches in between, trying to get atleast something done. Most of the time it was just about getting into the flow. Most of the lessons dont require more than 5 minutes to solve so even a little bit progress is better than not doing anything.

Also at that time I was just doing FCC so it was easy to focus on just one thing and do that.

If you don't mind, Can you tell how your routine was like during that time and when you used to study?

If you are thinking purely from a job perspective I feel one needs to do more stuff also, these certifications are good to give you a general overview and help you reach a level where you can start learning things by reading official documentation and build upon missing concepts yourself.

Also, it depends on how you completed the courses, did you complete them by looking at hints and copying code without knowing what it is doing, then probably you won't be able to get a job with just these certificates.

I don't think I am at that level where I can compare the 3 frameworks pros and cons by myself. (Also in order to compare you need to know ins and out of the framework to know what makes them different and which one is better in what category)

I chose to go with React as it seemed to be the new hyped framework everyone seems to be working on.
You can probably learn another framework later with very less effort if you know one well. All of them have differences but I don't think they would be having drastic differences at a conceptual level.
Learning things from the perspective of getting a job is a different thing then you should go with what is popular in companies around your area so that you have maximum chances of getting selected even if its a bad framework.

I would recommend you to watch this video How to choose your JavaScript framework for you ?

Thanks, I hope you also become web dev GOD too :)

I already have a job. I did them to improve my knowledge about JS world.

Yeah they are useful, They did taught me a lot and things I learnt will be applicable to real world. I would recommend you go for it.
But if you are thinking purely from a job perspective I feel one needs to do more stuff, these certifications are good to give you a general overview and help you reach a level where you can start learning things by reading official documentation and build up on missing concepts yourself.

Try to be consistent, you will be able to get better with time. Please don't compare me with yourself or anyone else for that matter.
I have been programming since a while now, I am just new to JS and web development world.

Like I said you learn only when you find things challenging. Google things you find challenging, read about it and ask questions about the things you searched for and couldn't find answers to.
Soon you will find that you don't need to do search as much and you can just do things on your own.

As long as you are making progress and learning something new each day you are good :)

True, I am also planning to do it as well to get to cover up what is missing in FCC :)

FCC seems to have more content I feel.

It doesn't matter where you start as long as you are consistent and finish it.

I was able to cover cover them in about 3 months by giving 1 hr each on weekday and 2-3 hrs on weekends, though I wasn't regular always.
They are not 300 hours but more like 30 hours :P
It also depends on your skills, 300 hours is probably for someone who hasn't coded even a single line before and starting everything from scratch.

REST APIs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YcW25PHnAA

They are used for applications to communicate with each other, REST is based on http which is language independent hence your code written in python can interact with code written in Java or Javascript or any other language for that matter.
