I am definitely learning a lot, and feel like I'm on a roller coaster, its sooo fast-paced! I've since learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript vanilla, and we're just starting out on web APIs now! Where has the time gone! </p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to practice though? Like I've also started to do WesBos's JavaScript30 when I have the time(read: when I'm not crying over my weekly challenges). But even with what I've learned so far it's still hard to follow/understand the logic behind what is happening even though I am familiar with some of what he is doing as I follow along? At this point, I'm just hoping the exposure to more stuff is gunna eventually help/look more familiar to me down the road! </p> webdev beginners jaychan0125 Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:58:01 +0000 https://dev.to/jaychan0125/first-post-55eo https://dev.to/jaychan0125/first-post-55eo <h1> Starting Out </h1> <h2> Feelings </h2> <p>I've just finished my pre-course work! 🎉 <br> I'm finding it is taking me a while to get my focus on track and create a proper learning environment where I can sit down and learn without getting distracted all the time.<br><br> The guided static web-page we made was super simple, but even so I'm proud of the work I did there and even explored a few things outside of what was taught! <br> I get so excited about what I want to do, I tend to get caught doing that stuff instead of focusing on the main lesson. Not necessarily bad, until I have a deadline. </p> <h2> What I Did </h2> <p><a href="https://jaychan0125.github.io/prework-study-guide/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pre-Course Study Guide</a><br> I MADE THAT! <br> It will prompt you and ask what you're interested in studying, where you'll open the console and see the simple JavaScript interactions I learned. <br> This page is just notes for the topics I was introduced to. We made the face with HTML and formatted it with an external CSS Style Sheet, and then the console interactions on JavaScript. The hardest part of this for me was learning to properly merge it with Git. </p> <h2> Takeaways </h2> <p>I enjoy learning, and I am really excited for this boot camp. However, I am also a bit anxious as I know it will be fast-paced and challenging. I'm hoping that I've done enough to prepare myself for it, but I'm mostly nervous about balancing my life with all the studying time I'll have to invest into my learning! I think once I get through the first class I'll feel better! </p> hello
