Embarking on the Web Development Journey: From Daunting to Delightful
Join me on this thrilling adventure as I venture into the realm of web development. Learning an unfamiliar programming language can be intimidating, especially in the vast world of web development with its multitude of languages. However, to my surprise, once I dipped my toes into this captivating field, my worries vanished, and a burning passion ignited within me.
To grasp the fundamentals, I embarked on W3's HTML course, immersing myself in the foundational language of the web. After delving into half of the course material, I mustered the courage to create my very first website. However, as you can see, discouragement struck when reality hit. As a computer science student, enduring the seemingly endless "Hello world" lectures that cover the bare minimum of a language is a dreadful experience. Yet, despite the initial setback and self-inflicted pain of that first attempt, my recent exposure to front-end development only fueled my hunger for knowledge.
As the day drew to a close, seeking inspiration, I turned to YouTube for guidance. Determined to approach the "trinity of web development" from a fresh perspective, I made a conscious decision not to rely on copying source code. Instead, I immersed myself in the realm of hands-on learning and experience. Following one of the videos I had bookmarked the night before, I embarked on a journey of active participation. Along the way, I commented, took notes, and made a genuine effort to understand the framework I was following. This shift in approach proved to be transformative, propelling my learning forward. Today has been immensely constructive, far surpassing the progress I made yesterday.
