Currently starting to write Javascript
Currently starting to write Javascript. It's taken a while, but worth while. I didn't start writing the language because I knew it. At first I memorized the for loop, and had to understand what each piece of it really does. once I started to grasp even a little bit of it, I made up stories.
A bit of insight. I had asked ChatGPT several times to tell me a situation from easy difficulty to hard challenges, and had it keep spitting out situations like mad libs at first so that I know what the symbols do, and why I should care. Once I started to get fluent and wrote down the why and the how behind everything, and the console on the web browser had the answers from each return I needed, the AI stopped holding my hand, and I could rewrite what I needed when I wanted to. But from there it didn't stop getting challenging.
The moral of my story so far is that, just because you can solve an answer one time, doesn't mean you know how to read the question. Also, train your brain to read the problem, come up with a solution and even write them out yourself. If the language seems foreign in any way, I ask the staff or ask the AI, and I will cross reference with Claude. I can now look at the blank screen and know what to write without a lot of guidance. Javascript can be hard but only if you don't practice. And as always, thanks to the staff at FES(Front End Simplified) I feel more confident in my web development skills than ever.
