The Declaration
Procrastination and habit of perfection together, sometimes forms a lethal obstruction in your path towards progress.
Being close to my second year in Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Computer Science & Business Systems, I was desperate to start learning a major skill such as Full Stack, DSA + Leetcode, Python + AI and so on.
Amidst all this confusion, I kept slacking-off for almost half of my vacation until something hit me very deeply.
The Initialisation
Immediately, I pulled up some Full Stack Development videos on YouTube and firmly promised myself that I would do it no matter what. A moment that also pushed me to towards it was freeCodeCamp had just dropped a 47 HOUR Full Stack Development Course powered by Scrimba !
I embarked on that pathway right away and as I kept getting deeper into it, I started referring to the Scrima[https://scrimba.com/fullstack-path-c0fullstack] website as well.
I modify the mini-projects a little (quite a lot actually) so I can experiment more !
The Spark
My interest deepened as I got deeper into the course and boy, it was phenomenal. The way Per Harald (the main guy) taught those courses starting from basic HTMl (body/head tags to anchor-hover), CSS (styling elments to flexbox) I flew past everything smoothly.
My emphasis on Per Harald's teaching style was that on every step of the tutorial he kept the spirits up by consistent motivation and making me proud of the mini-projects I completed.
I diligently followed each and every project and typed down every line of code (I used my VSCode setup instead of Scrim so I can get used to the dev environment and CLI better.)
The Consistency
Now I am so addicted to coding and development that even though my exams are close, I still continue that course every single day. Currently I am at the JavaScript Challenges part (aprox 6:46:00 mark in the tutorial) and will start 'The Blackjack' Project in a couple of days !
Thanks Scrimba. Looking forward to the Pro Version and complete the course ! https://scrimba.com/?via=community
My legendary set-up (ignore the cable-management pls, its temporary)
