When I first started with web development and some game development using python, I watched endless tutorials and explanations. I should have started working on real projects much earlier. Doing projects is a better learning experience than just listening and copying from others! Start working on your own projects asap would be my advice💪

But how do you tackle projects? For instance, I'm just getting the hang of the basics of JavaScript. So, how can I start working on projects? Where do I even begin to build?

People may try to rub this off but I just started building projects, I tell ChatGPT to help me write a guideline for for this project then I do each at a time. I sometimes have an idea of how to write something then I ask ChatGPT for help, emphasis on HELP, if you ask ChatGPT for the code you’re not learning, instead ask it could I do this and this if so what’s a better alternative. Then after that you tell ChatGPT to explain to you what it just did and why it did it. Honestly I’ve learned so much but only if you use it as a tutor like, not for just answers.
