[2/100]
I am continuing the review of basic JS concepts and functions with Colt Steele on Udemy. At the moment I am playing around with WHILE and FOR LOOPS.
It is all pretty logical to me and I remember a bunch of it. One thing that I always struggle with however is memorizing the structure of each function and names of methods and properties as well as what they do. I think the problem is that I don't write my own JS code on a general basis but rather tweak snippets and plugins I find.
I try to solve weekly code challenges on Code Wars as a way to actually use some of the knowledge I have and learn something new. It is fun and on more than one occasion frustrating but it still feels like not enough to actually remember what exactly I am doing. Maybe there is inherently a fault in the wiring of my brain or simply I just need to find a way to help myself with the process.
I would love to, at some point, go in-depth into MDN web docs and explore this great resource. I feel like I know how to write so many things without actually knowing what they are called and what else I can do with them. It would be great to actually sit down one day to go through the documentation and polish up what I know.
About a month ago I discovered a road-map to becoming a great developer by Kamran Ahmed and I am planning to review it here (I am focusing primary on the Front End aspect of it). It is an extensive overview that some might find overwhelming but for me personally it was a big kick-starter to really get back to development, improve my skills and kick butt in a few months once I am ready and able to get back on the job market. Knowing myself, I find it much easier and helpful when I have a clear plan of action or in this situation a curriculum that has a path and steps I need to take to get somewhere and reach a certain goal. Without it, I feel lost and unsure what's next and eventually I stop doing anything altogether.
First thing on the list is to finish the Bootcamp and then do the Advanced Bootcamp, while along the way do additional classes on the concepts Colt talks about, as I did with Bootstrap. It will be a long process but totally worth it and looking forward to being at the end of it.
