I'm so sorry.

For HTML, I downloaded a full stack course by Kalob Taulein, but utilized just the part on HTML.

Nothing really is easy but I think JS takes it somehow too far

Learn your CSS wella oo

We move shaa

We move buddy, JS will not see our end

Hey D! I decided to start JavaScript all over again.. At this point I'll be needing study buddies, as JS can be really boring and confusing.

I would also start to document my progress on my LinkedIn profile from henceforth, I should have started this a long time ago but we mueve sha.

Giving up isn't part of the plan.

MirthOsas:

Good morning boss
Definitely, no pressure at all. My only prayer is that I remain consistent.
I'd really like to know why you suggested I shouldn't spend much time on CSS.

Don't be deceived, if you wanna be good in front-end, you must be excellent with css. Yes there are lots of frameworks for css out there, but a serious company will always need you to write large chunks of custom css aside the framework.

TrillionBrains:

I am sorry to dispute you my brother. Html, CSS nor JavaScript. Non of them is hard or difficult. Just that you must jack before you understand and know it. All this video tutorial just makes those stuff look difficult. Truth be told, we need all the video tutorial. Many a time, video tutorial skips prerequisite topics making assimilation difficult. I am a newbie too, how do I cope? Firstly, I used W3Schools to study all the basics of what I need, W3Schools takes everything step by step. When I am done, I proceed to video tutorial. At the end I only learn applications and a few new things in the video as I already learnt and understood majority from W3Schools.
The right tutorial also helps. Some tutors are only good at programming but not good at teaching. Teaching in the sense of organising their topics and codes. If you learn with the wrong tutorial, you will hate programming. I am a victim but I already made up my mind before embarking on this so I had only one option.
Thank God for God, I am on frameworks now building some projects using the MERN stack.
Secondly, do not depend on one tutor, learn from different tutors. As a newbie, any tutor you watch teaching, seems so overly good until you try another. I thought Mosh was over good until I tried Andrei. I also thought Andrei was overly good until I tried Brad. But this Brad guy, is over bursting my brain.

I'm well grounded in CSS now, although one cannot know everything, but the course I used was very thorough.

JavaScript is the issue right now, there's been lots of starts and stops.

does that also apply to aspiring backend developers?

I don't think CSS would be very important to backend developers.

No

LMAO!!! I thought I was the only one here in this journey oooo. This is the 3rd time I'm restarting my JavaScript journey while using Jonas schmedtmann course.

I finished the course the first time, but school resumed, and so, I forgot most if what I learned. I started the second time, and stopped midway through the course.

Right now, I'm on my 3rd journey, and made a promise to myself that this will be my final time . I've also been taking comments lately on how the codes I wrote works so that even when I forget, I can just go back to it.

Also, I have the JavaScript course by net ninja which I plan to complete when I'm done with my current course .

Anyway, keep on pushing!

Man to be honest, you totally nailed it. I always wonder why schools start from the basics like introduction to computer science not until I had to go back and read up each time I get stuck on them.

In all practice makes perfect, good tutorial or not, you never truly know how far you’ve come until you get “into the badlands”

Brad is a good tutor no doubt but I still got my reservations of him tho!

I don't know about any other of his courses though but the e-commerce course, he totally nailed it compared to the earlier course I took. Like I am re learning, I have to be honest. Some tutors are really times wasters to be honest. Which tutor do you rate high? Would like to know

Have you heard about net ninja? Shaun. He's very good also.

Omo! Thanks baba... The journey indeed isn't for the frail at all... I'll start updating the diary again once I get to the point I was before I had a restart..

We'll be fine las las

Hey D!

I am back, I have finally gotten to and passed the point before the restart.
Finished and understood the module on arrays, also finished a module on objects although I am still trying to process the knowledge gained from the module.

I started a module on classes and Object oriented programming (OOP) recently, the whole concept seems like a leap from what I have learnt so far though, but I'll definitely be good in the long run.

No retreat, no surrender!

it will be actually nice to link up with both of you, i am also an inspiring newbie

Can u drop links to web tutorials taken by Brad?
Help a brother please!

The guy that spoke about Brad, please drop links
Thanks

Hey D!

I know I haven't updated you in a while, I just have had a lot to do recently.

So, I finished the module on Object Oriented Programming. I learnt about classes, inheritance, the static property, the super keyword, constructor functions, prototypes and related stuff.
I also learnt about the data- attribute, how to get box dimensions, how to control scrolling, how to load scripts dynamically, how to set timers and intervals, the location and history objects. I also learnt how to work with the date object.

Today, I completed a module on events, where I learnt about the different types of events: the different ways of listening to events, the phases of DOM events and event propagation. I also learnt about how to make DOM elements draggable, and how to mark the drop area.

Sincerely, most of these concepts seem pretty abstract, so I decided to download some javascript projects from youtube to solidify the knowledge gained.

Asides from learning, I also signed up to several platforms:
Firstly, I signed up with AltSchoolAfrica and the assessment test would be around the first week of February. I have been preparing so that my 10k for registration won't go to waste. The programme seems like it would be worth it given the nature of preparedness of those involved coupled with the very high pass mark of 85% . There'd be no refund of the registration fee if one doesn't get up to the required passmark. I'll be good though.

Secondly, I joined a free bootcamp TopSkill Universe, where one is required to go through some classes for three months and if one is amongst the best from the cohort, one is given an automatic scholarship into the firm's academy which would run online for eight months. If one is eventually finishes successfully, one can be absorbed into the firm as a junior developer.

Thirdly, I enrolled to the Software Engineering scholarship programme of ALX, and I already got accepted. Onboarding is next month, the only downside is that one is expected to put in about 70hours of work weekly Who does that? I'll be good though since it'd be done online.

I also signed up for Enyatta's build up 2.0, this is a program that gives free macbooks to aspiring or non-established techies. One is required to go through a series of tests and interview. On scaling through, one would be entitled to a macbook. Scaled through the first stage already, the next phase is the skill based test, and I sincerely do not know what to expect, but I am hoping for the best.

No retreating D! An expert-level and innovative developer I must be!

Sorry for replying late to this but, for programming courses, I love the manner “John Smilga” brings everything down to eart

That free laptop stop is really cool.

Do you have any company offering such currently?

Hey D! It's been a while, but I am here again, LOL

I am glad that I am making steady progress even though there are days I feel like giving up, but I just remember why I started out in the first place, and that tends to rekindle the zeal to continue.

I finished a module on Numbers and strings, where I learnt about the floating point precision, the .toFixed method, the Big integer, The global Number and Math objects and assoicated methods and properties such as the .random(), .floor, etc. I also learnt about Regular Expressions.

I also finished another module on Asynchronous JavaScript, where I learnt about synchronous code execution, asynchronous code execution, blocking code and event loop, the effect of multiple callbacks. I also learnt about promises

Another module on Promises is gone too as I learnt about how to create promises, how to chain multiple promises using the .then() method. I also learnt about error handling using the .catch() method, the async - await, and the other some other methods available for Promises, such as the Promise.race(), Promise.all(), and the Promise.allSettled.

I have also finished a module on HTTP requests and I sincerely loved and still love this module. I learnt about how to send HTTP requests, the different types of requests, the concept of JSON data and Parsing Data, how to get the response when we send a request, and an alternative way of sending requests using the fetch API.

Yesterday, I finished a module on JavaScript libraries, where I learnt about some third party JS libraries available and how they make life the life of a developer easier. I learnt the different methods of adding libraries - by downloading or by using the CDN link. I specifically learnt about AXIOS, a library that makes sending HTTP requests way easier. I delved into jQuery, but its capabilities can be done by core JS APIs. I also learnt about using npmjs.com to search for resources and documentation regarding JS libraries.

I also started creating basic javascript projects and they are really basic though , but it keeps getting better. I created a counter app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/counter-app/

A random number generator app with live url : https://mirthosas.github.io/Random-Number-Generator/

A hex-colour generator app with live url: https://mirthosas.github.io/Hex-colour-generator/

It keeps getting better D!

Kudos

MirthOsas:
Hey Diary

I created you to keep track of my progress as I venture into learning software/web development and eventually become an established developer.

Today I downloaded a course: The Ultimate Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp by Kalob Taulien. Going through the contents, Kalob advised that one of the best editors is VS Code, so I downloaded it too.

So far, I have learned how to customize the VS Code editor; create an html file; add the html, head, title, body, bold, italic and underline opening and closing tags. I also learned how to link different pages both internal and external.

Tired already, see ya tomorrow my dearest diary.


P.S: Special thanks to the ogas at the top, the likes of @tensazangetsu20. Going through your thread on the languages newbies should learn was a huge source of motivation. I'm grateful boss.

I should learn from this
