Roadmap to front end development

 The first month - Taking Introduction to computer science by Freecodecamp and Cs50

Warning - Yes, you'll feel dumb 90% of the time. You'd probably grasp one or two concepts. Then forget them the next day

Then start the first language of your choice. 

Code along with the teacher from the very first day

Why?

Because you'd be in motion. 

Your enthusiasm rises by doing. 

You may not know why they're using some concepts, might even seem gibberish to you.

Hell, you'd encounter several bugs.

My advise is "shut down the laptop" on those days.

Probably skip the project onto the next one but code along with them still.

After coding along, browse about the concepts individually

What this does is "it recalls your mind to the specific time you used the concept in your code"

Even though you may not know how it actually works

So, code along. 

Then watch the videos without coding along. Try and recreate some parts of the video

Remember, it's not necessary that you build everything from scratch yet

Rinse and Repeat the above for one month

Then, start building something very simple on your own - simple html and css webpage

And by your own, I mean with the aid of the internet.

Browse. Use Google. You should sleep on stack overflow, and the language documentation website

Watch more videos. Code along More.

When you find a teacher on YouTube that you enjoy and understand their teaching method, enroll for their course (if you can afford it)

Feel dumb some more

Feel bad

Feel downtrodden

Return back to coding along

Start JavaScript

Rinse and repeat the above

Code along

Learn concepts 

Code along

Return to concepts definitions

Code along projects

Interject JavaScript to your simple html and css pages

I believe in Football and the impact it has had on my life. For me Football have always been more than just a game to play with friends. To me Football was everything, I had Football posters, Football pillow cases, watched Football movies. My whole life revolved around Football. I’ve been consumed by it since the day I was born. When I was young I was like any other kid except for I have always been short and until about age 11 I was skinny as a twig. These two faults in my genetic make up made it so it was hard for me to do some things I wanted to do. My favorite sport had always been football, but due to my size I did not meet the size requirements to play. So because of that I had to play other sports such as Dodgeball and Relay. Even as a child I knew playing these sports would only make me better, but mainly i just wanted to play football. Even though I was not always motivated to play these sports they had taught me a key element that would be necessary later in football and la

Notions (Wi-Fi)

We don't know what we have until we lose it. I had written something down on this particular issue, and that had been a depressing stuff. However, the one I'm emphasising on today is actually more stupid than sad, although I'm very sad about it. From my first year, I had prided myself in it having subscribed a monthly data plan by myself while school is in session. It's not difficult to guess the reason for my boasting, WI-FI, my very own "Lionet WiFi". Then, YouTube and Instagram was my second home. I dallied a bit on WhatsApp and Facebook, but my base was YouTube. I knew the latest songs that were released, the trending ones and the views each was getting. It went as far as checking the comments in each video. This girl didn't know that my WiFi will be stripped from me without warning. It was like the Biblical saying of Jesus coming like a thief at night, I guess the WiFi stopped working at night. I am not too sure. My very own WiFi. I was downloadin

Took so long

 It took me a while to come to this realisation I can criticise orthodox Christianity while enjoying gospel music. I can decide not to be religious, but groove to music You know why? Because music is transcendental. Same way you enjoy secular music as a Christian. Same way I'd enjoy an artist music without necessarily liking them as a person There is legit no black and white in matters of ideologies, faith, etc Most things are in the grey
