Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I've posted anything here and there were good reasons for it. No, it's not about COVID-19 though I in fact had it (very mild one). More about several obstacles and stops on my webdev journey.
Anyway, after dropping coursed, many frustrations and much more successes I have finally arrived to something I consider to be a real milestone of my journey - DOM Manipulation. Yeah, I know, sounds kinda naive, but I will explain.
For quite some time now I've been learning HTML, CSS & JS, getting some results, sometimes failing and succeeding again. But despite all the successes on my way I couldn't really say that can accomplish something real or solve some practical problem with my coding skills.
Building a homepage or coding a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter that works in console is well and good, but not that practical and/or satisfying. It all changes with DOM manipulation. Everything clicks and you suddenly see how it all works together. More than that you now see a lot of practical problems around you that you can tackle. You might not be able to solve them all yet, but you have quite a good understanding of how and where to start.
That feels very refreshing and gives so much more confidence.
"So, Pavel", you might ask, "which problems have you solved already". Well, frankly speaking, not a single one for now. The only page I have finished is this Rock-Paper-Scissors Game done as a part of the Odin Project front-end course, but I'm working on some aids for my TTRPGs and see a lot of things I can (probably) do to improve my day to day life, work & learning.
The end of starry-eyed noob post)))
