Intro.
>As this is my very first post here, this might be a good start point to begin with?
It's about of what over the years took me to of where I'm now with my coding skills and that is this.
1. Having an idea.
That is where it begins with "like a feature for my github page!", then I begin to gather the needed info of how to create that feature.
2. Figuring out of how to do it.
Figuring out of how to get my idea realised, trying to understand the concept and if needed lookup some examples or following a tut.
3. Start Coding.
Finally and the best way to get forward, I open the editor and start coding.
Sure and depending on the complexity, making mistakes and doing things completely wrong.
Then learn from that and put persistance in place until I get it right.
My credo always is this:
>While and as long as the pc doesn't smoke, it is all okay to make mistakes ???? !
4. Getting It Right.
When I get it right, I move on and up to the next challence!
In a nutshell.
Yes for me it's about being busy with it; learning, making mistakes, solving them and proceed to the next challence!
What I don't do!
As I work with many concepts, there is no way that I remember them all and I don't even try it!
There is no need for too, because there is MDN where I can find 99% of what I want too know!
What I also learned is this.
There are moments on the road that I don't make any progress. When that occurs, I learned that having a break or looking the other way can do wonders. It helps to get a fresh new look on where I was working on!
It happens that I solve things in seconds, where I previously spent
hours on!
Trying things out.
Trying things out, that is also what I do from time to time. Looking with a sharp eye to what I've created and or I can improve it, making it more KISS!
>Yes, my goal is always to Keep It Short and Simple!
