I appreciate your taking time to respond. I hope others can benefit as well. What you said about looking things up is very true and hits home. Some of the 1 hour online videos takes me many days to get through.
My concern is being able to meet the expectations of a Jr. Dev. A scenario would be to start a position where the company uses a few concepts you learned and a bunch where you burn time struggling through. I am hoping that doing some projects will provide enough experience where new On-The-Job concepts will not be a fail point.
No problem, and yes you should keep doing projects, that's the best way to practice and get some experience.
And when you do get your first job, don't fret about not knowing something (I know, easier said than done), if you're honest about your knowledge, and a company hires you knowing you're a junior developer, they won't expect you to know everything, they'll expect you to make mistakes, I mean, try not make them, but it is normal to make them, we all do :)
I wish you the best! Good luck on finding that first opportunity!
