But I am not a good designer and I want to try and learn web design. But should I pause working on the project to learn web design and resume. Or should I make the front end with poor design, learn web design and than re-make it with a good design?</p> <p>On one hand I dont want to take a break from the project and possibly loose motivation after I learn UI. But on the other hand I dont think making a front end to just re-do it and never use it is worth it. So Im not sure witch one I should do.</p> ui learning frontend help Ethan Tue, 27 Dec 2022 16:57:49 +0000 https://dev.to/not-ethan/my-first-react-project-18mm https://dev.to/not-ethan/my-first-react-project-18mm <p>I asked <a href="https://dev.to/notaethan/how-do-i-make-myself-learn-5h4c">how to get motivation to learn React</a> and to my surprise that its self gave me some motivation.

And I want to learn a framework for the front end. I did research and choose React mainly for its popularity, I already know some and I like the syntax. And I plan to use <a href="https://github.com/Asabeneh/30-Days-Of-React" rel="noopener noreferrer">30 days of React</a> to learn it. But I don't have a lot of motivation to learn unlike the huge amount I had when I learned HTML, CSS and JS.</p> <p>So how do I get myself to learn? How do I give myself the motivation to learn?</p> tutorial beginners webdev help
