    Personally I found following a book to the most effective as it had tasks at the end of each chapter to practice what you'd learned

    Yeah, many people prefer the text based courses much more. I agree with you the practice after each section is definitely a key step for both video or text based learning.

    It's because its the most popular coding field right now, its also the easiest to learn and the most in demand. But yea to be honest I kind of had enough of wev dev for now the field is too oversaturated so im learning mobile development now.

    Questions 1. How do you remember all of this? 2. Do you need inspect element to be able to code? 3. How long did it take you to learn all of this? 4. Can you make a tutorial video for JavaScript?

    Of course! 1. Each course takes a while to finish and I wrote down the steps while I was learning to code. 2. I am confused about this question, can you elaborate? 3. This took me about 6 months 4. If the interest is there, I would be happy to make a basic overview video :)

    Hey! When I was first started, I coded every morning for 3-4 hours and worked on the business at night. I would say it took me around 4 months- 6 months to be decently comfortable.
