RE: Finally Learning to Code... (Escaping the Newbie Zone)

in #coding6 years ago

Hi @cryptoctopus,

When I read this part...

Are you the kind of person who has been trying to learn to code for years yet always remained in the newbie zone? ... I have done udemy classes, freecodecamp, codeschool and many others but always kind of dropped out at the point where JS was starting to get complicated enough that I couldn't see how it was related to an actual project.

I thought you were describing me... ;-). After youtube videos, I went to codeacademy, udemy. Each time I gave up when it came to object related programming in JS. Now I've started again and this time, I'm trying Node.js. It's a long shot but I'm keeping faith that I will manage some of it, if only I try hard enough ;-).

I think that you are right that the learning curve improves once you are doing more than abstract lessons. Real projects really push you to learn even though the solutions are not always perfect, it's the best way to improve.

By the way, I liked the design of your page

Best regards,
Achim

Run a local instance of TokenBB and start playing with it! Its build in Node.js and Vue.js and you get to see the code and how its done.

Thanks for the tip. I've to go a bit more in depth with node first but I might definitely try it later on
