I embark on a boot camp journey a few months ago, I found myself diving headfirst into the world of JavaScript without any prior knowledge of the language. It was a challenging and sometimes overwhelming experience.
At the beginning of my journey, I faced numerous hurdles in grasping fundamental concepts. I vividly remember spending significant time trying to understand what a function was, how to declare a variable, or even comprehend the concept of using callbacks. Additionally, the notion of an array being an object, and the arrow function method. To aid my understanding better I watching Spanish-language videos on YouTube and reading Spanish tutorials to bridge the language barrier. It was a challenge, but with persistence, I began to unravel the mysteries of JavaScript.
Despite the initial difficulties, I soon realized that the more I practiced, the faster my learning curve became. I immersed myself in various JavaScript concepts, such as using the fetch API, declaring anonymous functions, manipulating the Document Object Model (DOM), accessing elements by ID, and mastering conditional statements like If, Else, and Else if. Each new concept I grasped propelled me further, igniting a sense of excitement and accomplishment. Not only did I gain proficiency in JavaScript, but I also expanded my skills in other essential areas of web development. I learned how to debug my code, troubleshoot errors, and analyze the flow of execution. Working with CSS and HTML became second nature to me, allowing me to create visually appealing and responsive web interfaces. Additionally, I discovered the power of pseudocode as a tool to plan and organize my code, even though it sometimes posed a challenge as I had to write it in English.
