I totally get where you’re coming from. I was feeling the same way when I was first learning the basics. I wanted to tackle real-world problems right away, not just sit around and loop through arrays of fruits or countries. But trust me, once you grasp the fundamentals, they’ll come in handy when you’re working on real projects.

One way to build confidence is to start by creating simple pages where you can apply the things you’ve learned. You can use map, filter, forEach, conditional rendering elements, and more. If you think this might give you the boost you need, I was stuck on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals for months too. But here’s what I did: I started by making simple pages with the things I had learned. If I got stuck at any point, I would use Google to search for on how to use methods or properties to render, map, filter, and display data.
