My name is Leon and I'm a pretend fullstack Javascript developer. I say pretend because I often find myself not really knowing what I'm doing. I started learning to code about 2 years ago, I attended a bootcamp and failed...twice. The first time, I was doing okay until midway where I was hit by meningitis and had to miss the end of the bootcamp because i was hospitalized and needed time to recover from it. They were nice enough to re-insert me into the next bootcamp available. I still failed.
So I've decided to learn to code by myself, I picked JS because I bought into the hype that it's great and all. I went from tutorials to tutorials, and then I read about Tutorial Heaven, and then I read about JavaScript Fatigue. Great!!!!!! haha
I'm sorry if I sound like a downer, but right now I'm trying to write a very simple application for my portfolio and I feel like I can't even do it. I'm tempted to load one of those udemy course again and go through it, but I know that's not the route I should be taking. It's going to take too much time too. I could've taken the time writing this post to think more deeply about how I should tackle my project, but heck, this feels relieving.
Welcome to dev.to
Do reach out to people here and ask any help u need on coding.
Ask others or read about their first time learning to code experience.
Practice and patience was my motto when I try to learn something new. I remember learning object oriented programming. Couldn't get my head around it. Was thinking why can't we just do it the C way. This was in high school and felt like coding is not for me. But with more practice reading and moreover patience I was able to to embrace it.
Let me know if I can be of anymore help.
Im sure others here will be ready to offer some help as well. So reach out .
Happy coding.
