I’m at all times requested find out how to study or grasp one thing as quick as doable, so on this video I take a look at my ideas for studying, and the way beginning slowly can repay in large methods as you continue learning 😊.

This advice struck me. I try learning a lot of things at once so I needed this to calm down. Thanks :]
Perfectly concise and informative😎
JUST PRACTICE

I have been learning how to play the guitar over the past few years, and am applying some of how I'm learning to play to learning to code. I'm learning from different sources, applying what I learn in a book or video by actually DOING it, and most of all, going through any material slowly and going back to it if I'm not confident I have it down. Learning to play an instrument can be frustrating, and so is coding. When I feel like I'm not getting anywhere, I walk away and come back to it later. All that has been helping so far.
There are other great channels teaching web dev, but nothing like the straightforward, down to earth, and just plain experienced advice that comes from this channel.
That I always say, know what can we do, google will tell how to do that.
💯

Thank you for the video!
Thanks for advices from the master.
How do I make a webpage if I don't first follow el tutorial to know what tools I can use? plus after seen a full tutorial I still keep forgetting how to structure the page T_T plus CSS omg that is hell
Thank you, sir, please can you do a video on all projects a web dev needs.
@7:31 hard on ?
So you learn that flashy new framework… except down the road there is one feature you need which is not provided by the framework… so you try to hack that feature into your framework solution but your framework won't have any of it… luckily, your framework has a very helpful, nicely designed error screen including a detailed stack trace… you scroll all the way down realising the stack trace is over 200 levels deep… you give up and rewrite everything in plain html, css and js… a miracle! now it actually works!
Absolutely love this, thanks for the enouragement !! 😊😊
Extremely wise words.
I'm glad I started from foundation as you said. Thanks for the great video Kevin!
thank you❤❤❤❤
good
thats some wise main with good wisdom! damnn it
Loving your videos so far. I will say that while we shouldn't try to cut corners in the sense of foregoing fundamentals, I do think there are efficient and inefficient ways to approach studying and growing your skills as a web developer. The desire to learn quickly and efficiently shouldn't be discouraged, but only that it should come with caveats that you could be overlooking fundamental skills needed to serve as the foundation for you journey. I think the single fastest way to grow as a developer is to build your own projects. Before looking to build projects to solve problems, I would first recommend everyone start off with a simple landing page that has a few images, and some links. And it's from this fundamental skillset that they can use as a jumping off point to explore other ways to add complexity and functionality.
Then, when you're familiar and comfortable to find your way around an IDE and make simple web pages, then you can get connected through discord and slack channels where people post questions about their web pages or personal projects. Now you have an avenue to find solutions to people's problems. The other way is to look for inconveniences when you're using other company apps or visiting other web pages. "Gosh, this site would work so much better if it had a wishlist function." Or, "Maybe this video game has way too many items to keep track of. What if I made a search engine that helps you find the item location easier? "
Bouncing ideas off of the community is one of the best ways to get inspiration for new projects. Also, the frontend mentor that was mentioned in this video has a slack channel! Go join it because people are asking for advice there constantly and asking for help on their web page challenges.
You don't learn how to drive from taking a written exam. You learn it from actually getting behind the wheel and stepping on the gas. The same applies for all forms of learning.
I'm just a starter and yes, when I'm fed with a lot of information, then I imagined all of the work that I need to do to learn all of the things, I get that feeling that I want to stop. Wahaha, okay step by step, one by one until I learn a hundred things.
You're right. Sometimes, we forget the syntax of a certain rule because we didn't do them for a long time.
I once created a file that concerts Word files into PDFs using VBScript, but I forgot almost everything I knew about VBScript.
please make a video on active project based learning??????
currently im learning javascript its very hard to remember each and every thing
I’m leaving the armed forces and extremely interested in getting into this field. Any advice on where to start / focus on
Also going to work my way though your videos
Take care
Thank you dor your advice
Hey Kevin, should I learn jQuery now…..if not what should I learn instead.
Very good perspective
too complicated, ill just go gamble
Really appreciate your honesty and advice, have learnt a lot from following your videos. Thanks
This is exactly what needs to be taught, and where that line of separation is with the language, frameworks and libraries! Subbed.
Ah, the story of my life. Great video! I also learned jQuery before JavaScript but I did learn CSS before Bootstrap and eventually took the time to learn JavaScript properly so it all worked out in the end.
love this.
Thank you.
there is no way to learn fast when it is about computer , in 3 months you can figure it out if something is for you or not, 1 years learn and master " learn and master don't mean be an expert high end programer ", if you can not learn a language or script whatever the fuck related with computer in 1 years then it is not for you! not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer, the same programming language not for everyone ! get my advice it is free i m the time when we start to use 286 processor and windows 3.0 and programming in Clipper most of you don' t even know what i m talking about, " learn something because you like this is the first rules, don't think about money , if you learn something because of the money you are fucked you won't learn! nowadays i m doing C++
I agree, I learnt JavaScript classic and started doing stuff in react and maybe still new to react but was able to see the JavaScript DOM manipulation and XML DOM and realised that is what react does, it’s a hybrid JavaScript mixed with xml DOM. Had I not learn JavaScript and XML react would be this mystery but makes perfect sense now, and I think that means react is data focused and in particular movement and updating of data through the virtual DOM, with the JavaScript programming functionality of manipulating the DOM.
Motivation and vive me the right way to do my next step
My favourite part was where you froze and did that thing with your hands 😂
Yeah the first thing I will suggest a beginner do is learn as much information as you can until you think the basics make sense, then pick up a small project something quite basic and try to implement on your own, referring to the material you have been learning for help. Definitely play with other peoples code as well, like for front end, make it a habit to open developer tools on webpages and mess with it, and if you see some nice functionality try to look at the code. Great great video, we often times are caught in the learning loop for quite a while till you start on a project just to discover you don't even know how to organize your folders. But also know for most beginners one of the most daunting and confusing task is to ask them to pick something and just do.
Thanks Kevin
This video made me feel better. Tks for sharing!
Muchas gracias.
learning to learn!
Very good points.
Very valuable video !
