My aim is to help boost a beginners confidence, while also providing some insightful tips 👌
As much as I appreciate your thought on this, I can think of some worldly renown people, who at some point faced road blocks.
You can love what you do, and have a passion for it, but taking on a new career or hobby can have it's obstacles.
I'm sure passionate entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, software engineers, web developers, etc, have all faced similar problems, or at least eventually. How about an author suffering from writers block?
Learning web development, especially on the self teaching path, is daunting. There's no one to watch over your shoulder, grading your work, or gauging your progress. The tech moves fast, and sometimes it can feel like your chasing. I love it, I aim to learn every day, and to apply what I learn. However self doubt can sometimes hijack your headspace. If these tips can help even one beginner developer stop debating on what framework to learn, or escape tutorial hell, I'm stoked 🤘
I don't think it's daunting at all - and not having someone looking over your shoulder is a plus! You're free to make mistakes, learn the way you want to, and follow the paths that interest you instead of the ones you're told you should be following. The whole thing should be an adventure - a voyage of discovery driven by curiosity, interest and excitement.
I'm a 100% self taught programmer and have no formal qualifications. I started programming at the age of 7 back in 1983 and have always found it interesting and sought to teach myself in my own way and at my own pace. Any 'roadblocks' are never roadblocks at all if you have the right mindset - just more challenges that will help you improve
We can't all be neurotypical, Jon.
It's great that you found a path and strategy that works for you. But you aren't a blueprint. Some people have anxiety, ADHD, etc. that makes it hard to start or stay focused. I don't really see how you're initial comment or this one is helpful to anyone. Remember, THINK before you speak :)
