How To Get Out Of Tutorial Hell
Once you finish a web development Course, I would build a project that you are interested in.
Like ask yourself, what are your interests, what are your passions. What do you like?
Don't build a Netflix clone. Everybody does that.
Don't build a Meta clone. Everybody does that.
Like, you should be original.
Do something that is unique and something that you are passionate about. Not what everyone else wants you to do.
With a good web development course, you will have the basics to be confident enough to build any project. The 2 Hour Web Developer will help you with that.
And the advantage of this approach, is that, when you are actually building the thing, you are more likely to enjoy what it is that you are working on. Because you like the stuff that you are working on. It is something that you are actually passionate about.
So, for me, I am interested in Career development. So, I build a job board. And I really like doing that because I am super interested in whatever it is that I was building.
Build project without framework
Make sure that you do it the language script of any frameworks. This is important because it reinforces the fundamental basics understanding of the language of your choice.
Like, you want to know the basics. Like, how to write functions. Like, how to write a for loop in JavaScript.
It is only about after you have developed this project in the vanilla language of your choice that you can build it in a framework.
So, after I was done building this project in Vanilla JavaScript, I then decided to rebuild the project in the framework of my choice which was React.
I was able to better understand React as a result. Like I really understood the basics of JavaScript.
This is SUPER important. Because a lot of people are going to tell you that you should immediately start building in the framework of you choice.
Happy Coding!
