Wellll I wish I could say that I was putting in 100% effort... but I'm a tired adult human with oh-so-many responsibilities like everyone else, so I'm afraid that my commitment level to learning code is pretty minimal right now. I'm glad that I'm doing this, but it's definitely the hardest thing I've ever put myself through!
But I'm enjoying it for the most part and I do hope it pays off in the end and helps me focus my life a bit better. We've been learning JavaScript, which is terribly fascinating and intimidating, and I still have so much information to retain! I feel like I'm constantly just looking at my old assignments and projects to even get started on anything new... Do you think that's normal, and how long till I can start just coding as soon as I sit down?? lol.
After graduating with a Law Degree, I decided to stick with my passion for software engineering. Currently focused on learning Javascript. Itโs a dream to be able to master it enough to teach it.
The first priority is your health, so try and balance things.
If youโve not sat on your own and written a function or object - Iโd suggest you do so. Theory is good but till you sit on your own, practice, and hit a few road blocks, you will be stuck in an endless loop like I have been in the past.
Iโve touched on php and javascript but right now Iโm focusing fully on JS whilst going over other fundamentals like Databases, css Grid, git etc.
Iโve started a discord for this, if you want to join, sorta like a support group for help, discussion etc
