Before my success with Javascript, I tried learning how to code countless times
Since 2015, with different languages, failing each time.
I could get things done but never really understand what I'm doing. No idea why DS or functions are what they are.
Until during a career switch from art to programming in 2019 I randomly came across eloquentjavascript(.)net
It's so beautiful I did it for 2 months and I never forget this book's name now in 2024.
And I've done everything; tutorials, books, courses, bootcamps (never completed one tho)
What's so different about this book? It makes JS dead simple. Just like the grug brained dev thing (you should read that too)
Sometimes I wanna make a video about how this book made me magically learn how programming is constructed and how to think about it.
I don't really know android dev or servers or difference between SSR and SPA (I barely understand the difference), but somehow when I need to do it I'll know.
One more topic added to the neverending "make videos on this topic" list. Ugh.
