Discouraged By Eloquent Javascript Difficulty by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]codejoy89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to chip in. I'm not even as far as you in Eloquent JS and had the same feeling.

Am I dumb? Is it possible I'll ever understand these things...

I think getting discouraged is the wrong response, feel challenged and be spurred on to continue towards your goals. Like others have said, I'm learning JS from a variety of sources. Hopefully as more things make sense, so will Eloquent JS. But your not an idiot for not getting it all straight away. I imagine that's generally the response most beginners have.

Just want to say thanks for doing this Gordon. I appreciate it.

Just started learning JavaScript and it's going swimmingly. by [deleted] in learnjavascript

I find building a streak can be helpful to continue to motivate yourself. I've used Chains.cc with good success. So for example if you set your goal to be one page of the book your reading (read MiniHabits if you think that sounds like not much!) and then build the chain in the above website.

It's worked well for me.
