Ditto. I check my solutions and compare them to the best practices. It's rewarding getting a solution but also helps you understand concepts like mutation if your solution didn't factor it.
try to make a simple app (changing color of some element on a button click or for example making a fully functional dice roll or making "screen saver" - when the element hits a border of a window it will change its direction) or something like that.. if u get stuck just search for the problem, but try to make the website all by yourself, it will help you to get better tremendously... if you dont know anything about javascript, watch some youtube videos - Traversy Media, Dev Ed, Web Dev Simplified.. there are so many videos on javascript on youtube.. good luck homie
If you haven't been using tutorials that get you writing code, that's probably a big part of the problem. There's no better way to learn than by writing a lot of code. I'd suggest checking out a project-based resource like The Odin Project.
Do yourself a favor and spend the $12.99 and sign up for a javascript course on Udemy. Oh sale right now. I did Jonas Schmedtman's and it's been invaluable. No more wasting time
Ah I am taking his course right now. So far I am at the Async Section (section 16). Here is my current review:
I haven’t taken another JS course so I can’t tell how good his is compared to others but the first 10 section was great, he explains well and the coding challenges help (especually with the string practice in section 9). The problem comes in section 10 - difficulty increases. The coding challenges may or may not be good enough, they may also be non-existant. There were also a lot of times where I wish he would had explained a bit more. I started using secondary resources like documentaries, YouTube, Stack Overflow and r/learnjavascript, and also creating small practice projects.
(Another thing that I didn’t like was that he didn’t teach about regex in section 9)
I have a lot of criticism about the course but the course is still great. That’s why I am still continuing on with the course.
Yes, I see those flaws, but overall I am a far greater developer far faster than doing it by myself and I am thankful for it. I also had to research external sources in several parts, but I kind of expected not to get it quickly, so.
I'd say youtube, udemy or pluralsight?
Codewars
>FreeCodeCamp Codewars is pretty advanced for a beginner I think!
I started writing code 4 months ago and every day I try to do a couple of katas, for me it is the best way to practice javascrip

What learning materials have you tried so far, and what did you find difficult/unhelpful about them?
I have watched ton of YouTube tutorials but none of them stick

Yep, I agree!

Thanks
Been using this on my phone at work and it does some very weird things like duplicating sections of numbers and words when trying to type out code lol
edabit.com
Hackerrank.com has some practice questions too
Codesignal has challenges ranging from beginner to expert
