HTML and CSS were child's play compared to JavaScript, the whole format and way of coding is different so I'm finding it hard to A, remember and un...

I've been there (and still am there) at times. A few things I'd say are that first, you don't need to memorize everything - Google is there and it's 100% okay to look things up. I used to think I was "cheating" somehow by looking up definitions, functions, or documentation while solving algorithm problems, but the truth is even the most experienced developers still google things.
Secondly, start out small with programs that connect your HTML/CSS to JavaScript. An absolutely fantastic place is Codepen.io where you can create small projects using HTML, CSS, and JS on their site for free and save it. They take care of connecting everything for you. Then over time you can move some of those projects onto a code editor on your computer and connect them together yourself. Connecting a JS file to HTML is something I google every time, along with connecting CSS.
Thank you for this! Google is definitely my friend and I like to watch YouTube videos to help me understand as well. I will definitely try out codepen as I wasn't aware of it - so thank you for sharing, really appreciate it.
Ohh yeah, JavaScript is a whole different beast from HTML and CSS. Remember, HTML is primarily about representing the logical structure of your data and your page, CSS is primarily about defining how it looks, and JavaScript is for... everything else! It's a proper programming language used in most (all?) of the places that C++, Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. are used. The upside is it's an increibly powerful lanugage, and there's basically nothing you can't do with it (or, nothing that you can't do with JS but can do with other programming languages); the downside is that it takes complex syntax to wield all that power!
Take your time; don't rush anything. There's a ton to learn if you're the kind of person who wants to understand the language deeply. But IMO, in the end, it's totally worth all the pain!
Thank you for this! I definitely need to be patient and kinder to myself when trying to learn and understand JavaScript. Its definitely on a whole different level
So true. But it's all so worth it in the end. After mastering the basics, we realise the beauty of JavaScript. That is when I feel in love with the language.
hey, lets team up and help each other!
Good suggestion. @fred. I have learnt HTML, CSS and Php
Now transitioning to Javascript. Let's start with small exercises. Your thoughts.
Definitely seems like a great idea and doing collaboration with other people can do wonders for your own career progression too.
Andrew you too can join Fred in the learning journey.
jump in Andrew!
nice!! just let me know how can we get in touch, there goes my email: study-related fred.cal@hotmail.com
lets do it!
Okay. Fres. Let me know which topic your are studying and i will exchange notes with you. Talk2arvindsridhar@outlook.com.
Fred, I can start a slack channel to help us collaborate on the learning journey.
sounds great to me!
Thanks. So I will be creating a slack channel and sending out invites. Give me some time. Anymore interested in starting JavaScript from begineer to expert
Dear Fred, I have sent you the slack channel invite to your hotmail inbox. Please check and join.
