Hey folks! I'm starting to wonder if I'm in "tutorial hell." I've been diving into a lot of tutorials, using resources like The Odin Project (TOP), freeCodeCamp (FCC), and a couple of paid courses—specifically Jonas's HTML and CSS course and Traversy Media's Modern JavaScript course. My routine is pretty structured: I do Jonas's HTML and CSS in the morning, then switch to FCC in the evening, focusing on the same topics throughout the week. For JavaScript, I work with TOP in the mornings and Brad's course in the evenings, sticking to my schedule of working on JavaScript on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Should I drop some of these resources to focus on just one, or is it okay to keep using multiple materials?

Honestly, at some point, you’ve got to step away from guided tutorials and start building your own stuff. When I started out, I focused on one course and then just jumped into personal projects, using Google to solve my problems. It’s tough and messy at times, but that’s how you really learn and grow!
Absolutely! When I switched from a hand-holding course to actual projects, it was a rough couple of weeks, but my skills really took off. It might be challenging, but you’ll understand the concepts way better in the long run.
