Hello everyone,I am a college student my major is computer science

It's summer vacation time and I thought I might learn frontend development while I am setting home instead of doing nothing all day

When I started learning I felt lost and somewhat pressured even though i barely started

Please check out my Battleship project!

This is the first programming project that I am excited to show. What I originally planned to complete in a weekend somehow snowballed into around 130 hours of work — I would love it if any of you can spare some time to check it out!

Live demo link is in repo README.

Comming back after a break

I had an 8 month break due to the start of the first semester of college. I finished Foundations, Intermediate HTML and CSS and stopped right before Async JavaScript in the JavaScript course. 

I’d like to mention that I didn’t abandon programming. During the first semester to prepare for Introduction to programming classes(C, C++) college classes I programmed two projects: 

  • terminal snake game in C with ncurses 
  • spaceshooter in CPP with raylib.

For the past few months I have been working on a hobby project in Kotlin Dwarves vs Zombies minecraft minigame plugin with paper api(second semester in my freetime). There were some college assignments lately in the second semester in python and c# but they were rather insignificant compared to the projects I mentioned.

I was thinking about coming back since my summer break just started. I specifically thought about taking a detour and starting the rails path as I am not that deep in the js path. For some reason I find it more fascinating. I also doubt that learning ruby would take a lot of time considering my exposure to various programming languages.

I think that starting it all over again would kill my motivation. Do you have any recommendations when it comes to coming back after a while ?

Projects I mentioned:

My Blog API project update

About 5 months ago I wrapped up the Blog API project in the Node.js section, posted it here, and since then I’ve been using it as my personal blogging platform. I’ve kept tinkering with it, adding features and polishing things along the way.

Just recently I pushed a major update, and I wrote a post detailing all the changes I made. Honestly, one of my favorite parts of running my own blog app is the freedom to customize literally anything however I want, it feels like my own little playground for experimenting with ideas.

If you’re curious about what’s new, check out the linked post. Would love to hear feedback or ideas for future improvements!

Needed advice on starting the course again.

Hello fellow learners!

I wanted to ask for an advice.

My background: I am doing Bachelors in Comp. Engineering. I have learnt plenty of HTML, CSS from YT playlists, including some topics of Intermediate & Advanced HTML, CSS. I know some basics of JS as well

When I started TOP, I had uncertainty regarding continuing it. I have already asked a question about it in the sub, I got really good response. Then, the shortage of time struck me, because I was in the start of my 4th semester (I didn't have any knowledge of web dev, which ironically I still don't have), I was thinking that If I learn web dev through a YT playlist (which was good, I attended some of those videos) so that I can do it quickly and I can start my AIML journey OR DSA for placements which will begin from 7th sem.

But college academics and my long daily commute really disturbed me, I couldn't do the playlist either. My whole 4th semester passed like this. Currently, I am having holidays in the gap b/w 4th sem & 5th sem. 5th Semester will be starting soon from first week of July.

Now, I am determined that I will stick to TOP. I have completed 43% of foundation course till 'HTML Foundation'.

Que.: "Should I skim through the lessons until I reach the new ones? Or Study the completed ones again to properly get back in the track?"

Thank you for your answers and time!!!
