Basically the title.
Between not knowing what a variable is and your first application/resume that got you interviewed, how much did said course account for in terms of concepts ad techniques you would be introduced to if you had to give a percentage
And mind you I’m not asking how you got good with like applying regular expresssions or whatever, im asking how much of your awareness of the tools you have as a developer came from a neat tidy course, and how much from vicariously bouncing around random stack overflow pages
People are real vague about what role free code camp and the oding project played in making them a dev. If I were to finish just fcc’s data analysis course, an played with the concepts I learned for a month rigorously. How much of my journey to job readiness actually be complete?

I was wondering to take this react course which is taught by Jad Joubran. if anyone has any thoughts on it then please let me know. Here is the link to the course https://react-tutorial.app/
Sort of an odd question but I grew up with Marvel Tony stark being a role model. Yeah I know it is corny, but he was super cool to me. In the movies - Tony seems to build and program significant things by himself, whether it jarvis, his suits, his automated home, etc. Like all movies, obviously they sell what is "sexy" - but I am curious.
Once I got into development I realized how many people it takes: project managers, front end, backend guys to build anything significant whether it is a website, software, front-end, back-end, etc.
Is it possible at all for one guy to build something significant - whether a suit, anything engineering based, a software business, etc without a team?
Stardew Valley was made by one person.
The programming world is filled with examples of single developer projects (of course, they later evolved in significance, size and features with more devs coming on board):
PHP (Rasmus Lerdorf)
Python (Guido Van Rosum)
Linux (Linus Torvalds)
GNU Emacs (Richard Stallman)
Drupal (Dries Buytaert)
Wordpress (Matt Mullenweg)
Node.js (Ryan Dahl)
and there are many more! You may liken them to the initial Iron Man prototype that Tony Stark built in that cave, later evolving into the Mark series built by his team of engineers at Stark Enterprises.
Which books, software, courses, devices (or whatever) are worth shelling out a few bucks for? Also, what in your opinion isn't worth the price or even paying for at all?
I have been learning JS for about 2 weeks now but I can't seem to find a course/tutorial that fits me. I want to implement my JS to HTML eventually. Is there such free course that is in video style that gives you an exercise after each lesson? I learned HTML and CSS this way and I find it very effective for me. For reference, this is the video. TYIA!
I'm on a bit of a mission to learn programming...
Some may question the sanity of my approach, but I'm juggling JS, Python and Rust at the moment and finding that learning multiple languages seems to help give me a more broad understanding of programming in general - especially as I'm new to it all.
What I have found is that there seems to be a "sweet spot" for interactive courses where there is a good mix of interactive exercises, explanations and hints with a logical progression through the complexities of the language geared towards achieving tasks. The best example I've found of this sort of thing so far is learnjavascript.online by Jad Joubran. That course seems to have everything just right for FAST learning (at least the way my brain works) - the "knowledge map" is a stroke of genius!
So far, I've tried FreeCodeCamp and educative.io for Rust, as well as the rustlings repo - all good in their own way, but I can't help feeling I'd make quicker progress if I could just find a course like the JS one mentioned above.
The icing on the cake would be a free course, although the Jad Joubran course is actually paid after a certain point - which at least is a fixed fee rather than ongoing subscription.
I did Jad Joubran's "course" at learnprogramming.online. It's an intro to programming that just happens to use Javascript, and I enjoyed it so much I've started on his more involved Javascript course at learnjavascript.online. Everything is just concepts and exercises so far, though. I want to code something of my own but without actualizing it as a webpage. I just want to look at what I'm doing to different variables in console.log(), like in Jad's exercises, but for my own purposes. How do I do that? I downloaded VS Code but am pretty overwhelmed and don't understand how to log stuff to console to instantly see what I'm doing as I'm doing it. If you could explain this in terms a stupid person could understand I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hi what's the best react course ? I been thinking between Andrew Mead,Maximilian or Jonas Schmedtmann. I read mixed reviews about Maximilian. And I really like Jonas as I done he's HTML and Js course but I don't know how he's React course is. I heard Andrew mead is very good aswell.
I told my younger brother I was interested in learning how to code and it has sparked his interest as well. What are the best resources for him to learn from? He's 12.
Hi everyone!
I'm in the very early stages of creating an interactive course and I would like to hear your thoughts on them.
So far I've come across Scrimba and Jad Joubran's learn X series of sites (learnjavascript.online, learnhtmlcss.online, etc...). Has anyone completed any of them? Any there any others that you really like or would recommend?
Which js course is best ? MDN course or The odin project Or is there any other course that you would recommend for beginner. Thanks in advance
