Stick with it. 🥹
It gets hard sometimes but it is hard for everyone in the beginning.
Looking up solutions isn’t cheating.
Cutting and pasting without understanding is cheating yourself.
Learn all the Array methods and learn them well. I’m talking about methods like:
👉Array.filter
👉Array.map
Learn how the event loop works 🔁
Learn how promises work
Learn how async/await works
Learn the basics of Node before you try to learn React
Learn how to build and consume API endpoints
When you do learn React, learn it well.
That’s most likely what you’ll find your first job in.
Learn to write unit tests
Build, build, build 😎
Keep all your in-progess projects in private Git repos but keep your finished work in public repos.
Until you’ve built at least ten small projects (calculators, tic-tac-toe games, todo lists, etc) and at least three full-stack projects, you probably don’t know enough to code professionally
Learn to deploy your apps on AWS or a similar service
When you are learning databases, learn SQL before Mongo and learn it well.
SQL is a very underrated skill for developers
Full Udemy courses are far better than following random tutorials.
Your best free resource is Free Code Camp, and it’s not even close
The rewards for all this effort are real.
That first job is hard to get but people can and do teach themselves to code and go on to successful careers
Good luck my friend, welcome to JavaScript 😂
