Prepping for your JavaScript job interview? Check out my video on the most popular JavaScript interview questions: • Top Javascript Intervi...
These are the videos I mentioned as great learning resources:

In a nutshell,
1. Start building, stop watching endless tutorials
2. Follow a structured learning path, don't just learn things randomly
3. Focus on one thing at a time, don't jump from language to language
4. Practice deliberately, have a system in place, don't just repeat the things endlessly
5. Stop memorizing unnecessarily and start understanding things more, learn asking the right questions
from @3:39 - so that has been my problem the whole time...thanks for pointing it out brutally. I have watched several help videos so far, but the points you make are the ones that makes most sense and relatable at the same time.
Thank you for the kind words! Sometimes you just have to say it and not pretend that everything’s easy.
Excellent video! and exactly what I'm suffering from, feeling stuck every time I get on the computer to do some code and feeling like a failure when I don't remember how to do something i learned recently, so thank you
Great advise, thanks for taking the time out to share your knowledge with us.
Thank you Cristian! I wanted to do something a little bit different but I’m glad you found it useful!
The first point hit home the most for me. I've watched tutorials, mistaking all those sleepless nights and follow-along projects for actual progress. Aaaaaaand about 4-5 wasted years later, I've still got nothing.
I'm planning on making video games - not sure that makes me count as an official "Software Developer", but everything mentioned in this video is very relevant to my current situation.
Anyway, all that to say, thank you for your advice. I'm going to drag myself out of tutorial hell this year. Wish me luck.
Thank you! I have FINALLY figured out WHY I hated an onsite coding test with Concast years ago. Up until this video I put the blame squarely on myself. However, thanks to you, it all makes sense.
I was tasked to write a piece of PHP code that would connect to a DB, create a table and then perform CRUD functions.
Although I had done this many times over I could not remember from scratch the syntex to even connect TO the DB. I sat there, staring at an empty screen- well, with SOME code written so people wouldn't think I was THAT dumb. I finally began asking one of the guys who originally sat done with me when doing the meet and greet portion of the interview. He answered but was aggivated a bit with me. I asked a 2nd question and he reminded me I couldn't ask anymore. After struggling for at least 30 minutes I finally got up, went into the hiring manager's office and told him I don't code "off the top of my head like this". He politely said he understood and I walked out. Fun times
just found your channel, thanks for the great content catherine and keep up the good worK!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for being so straight forward and honest for a path to follow for a beginner. I finished learning HTML, CSS, and GIT/GITHUB commands - all which I feel very comfortable with now than when I first started a couple of months ago. Now I’m learning JS which has been a bit of a bottle neck, but I’m trying to build small projects with my limited knowledge at this time in hopes it’ll click better.
Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for keeping it 💯. Mastering anything is difficult. True progress requires passion and obsession. Relish the challenge.
Update ?
I enjoy your content. You are correct that we get stuck in this tutorial hell! I went through an online bootcamp and you basically don't learn anything other than so very low level fundamentals.
Thanks! Some bootcamps are really worth it but the majority rely on you taking the initiative to study and ask questions
The more I research how to break into programming the more I come across your videos (could just be the algorithm haha) but I think it’s time to subscribe 🤓
Haha thanks! I’m glad that my videos are helping you get into programming. Stick around, I’ll be doing more programming videos!
Video was very informative ❤️. Came here by the thumbnail 😅
Your channel is very underrated, your advice on how to learn are much better than the ones in 1M+ channels because they are actually practical and useful and those channels only want a longer video to have more ads.
Thank you so much! I’ve always wanted to make sure I create interesting content and am working on new videos to release soon.
@@catherinelijs I don't know if you are already doing it or not but some Q&A livestreams would also be awesome many people including myself have so many questions that would like to know your opinion on them
I agree with saying don't learn tutorial without applying but saying don't learn tutorial at all, I don't agree.
My best advice is, after learning how to build a website or an app on the tutorial, try applying it into your own basic project or take some quiz online to train yourself before continuing the tutorial. Not learning tutorial at all would leave you lacking essential things
I feel exposed! Thanks for pointing this out. It's so exhausting to be going through 100 "Hello World" tutorials for different languages and thinking that you're learning to program.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you found it useful
Thank you for making this video it's very informative.
Once again an amazing video, thank you. Still trying to get my foot in the door, this is great advise.
Thank you! Honestly at the beginning it may seem like it’s really hard but hopefully you’re getting a chance to go to some interviews as well, as I found those were really helpful after going to a few.
@@catherinelijs Yes, I did get a few. One I bombed, another I was so close and sure I got the job! But they said they put the position on hold. I look forward to your next video!
thank u so much for ur advice
Glad you found it useful!
@@catherinelijs u welcome and I hope to see some project on ur channel for beginners anything like JavaScript or react or Next JS okay thanks 👍🌺
you are worthy of love even if you cant debug.
Many many thanks for your valuables information.
im in p*rn hell when im sitting in front of a computer. how do I seek help? can't get away from Bubble butt baby sitters vol 8
Im confident in html and css and somehwhat with javascript. Should i move on to react and start building projects once i learn that or should i be building projects with html css, and javascript before i go on to learning react?
Thanks Catherine, its really helpful.
Glad you found it helpful Elias!
Thank you. That is helpful..
Fun Notes:
At 1:54 You're different... (Catherine B version)

Your advice is both practical and helpful. Compared to other videos in the same genre, yours were more informative. I have already subscribed and look forward to learning more from you! 😀
Thank you! I’m preparing new content that will be uploaded soon!
