Hey everyone! I'm currently a junior in college majoring in computer science, and I have my sights set on becoming a Full Stack Developer or an AI Engineer. The problem is, I feel like I've fallen behind. I took a year off from programming and didn't touch any code during that time. I have a basic understanding of Python, but I'm uncertain about my skills now. I'm feeling anxious about where to begin and what steps to take next. Any advice on how to get back on track would be super helpful!

Since you know some Python, that's a good foundation to build on! Start coding daily with small projects like web scrapers, mini games, or simple APIs. Then, choose a focus area for now: if you're leaning towards Full Stack, learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and maybe frameworks like React or Node; for AI, dive deeper into Python with libraries like NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn. Just avoid trying to learn everything at once—build small habits and complete a few mini-projects to regain your confidence fast.
Thanks for the advice! I'm considering focusing on Full Stack for now, but I sometimes struggle with where to start on my own projects. Any tips on that?
