I love learning foreign languages, playing video games, rock climbing, and my dog.
I started my coding journey about a year and a half ago, where I've been learning on my own.
Again, same page! How far along are you on your JS journey? Have you looked into any frontend frameworks like React/Angular? I've been using React and it makes front end development much more efficient and intuitive -- I definitely recommend looking into it. It's all JS based.

Hi again,
I did a bootcamp where I was exposed to all aspects of full stack development.
So a part of the syllabus was learning React which I thought was simply great to be honest. I loved how it approached web development e.g. modules/components, particularly with regards to developing larger applications/sites.
The issue I had/have is that I struggled to absorb a lot of the learning along the way, in particular JS. Working with data and fetching data via APIs comes to mind right now where the wheels started to come off for me.
JS enthusiast. In the middle of changing career path onto web development. Looking for challenges and opportunity to learn. Learning TS at the moment. My goal is to become back-end developer.
Hi KC,
I suggest learning Vanilla Js first before React/Angular or Vue. I'm saying from my point of view and after a few failures on interviews. You should get all the weird parts of JS otherwise you will struggle with frameworks. I keep my fingers crossed for maintaining your motivation but recently I realized that in my case consistency is the key and motivation is just an addition.

I definitely agree with this. You should learn the ins and outs of JS before moving onto a framework.
There's a Udemy Course I took with the Instructor Colte Steele, The Web Developer Bootcamp. He does a really great job of explaining JS. You don't have to do the whole course, but the JS section was great, and he's funny. Udemy courses are pretty cheap and I think a great value.
Other than that, just trying to do some coding challenges will really help.

I want to code more because:
I know I’ll have reached my “code more” goal when:
My top three assumptions for reaching my goal are:
KC couldn't agree with you more on the maintaining motivation part. That'll be my biggest hurdle, but I'm feeling confident right now! Godspeed man.
Thanks very much! Likewise feeling confident now - just need to be able to pick ourselves up when the confidence wanes!
Same to you - all the best!

Thanks both for the advice.
Yeah I'm refocused on JS and I'm working through Wes Bos's JS course at the moment. Also attempting Frontend Mentor Challenges.
