I'm diving into the ASP.NET Core web API framework and was doing fine until I hit the Entity Framework (EF) Core and the database context. Things got pretty confusing at that point. I'm not following a specific course; instead, I'm just working on a project and trying to apply everything I learn. I primarily use AI for help and occasionally refer to documentation. Is it okay to keep pushing through even when I'm feeling lost, or should I take a step back and go through things more methodically?

Honestly, who isn't confused while learning? It’s all part of the process! Just remember, that feeling of being lost is just a sign that you're actually learning. ASP.NET can throw a lot at you when you're new, but over time, it gets easier. Keep at it!
For sure! I’m juggling a computer science degree and confusion is part of my daily routine! I’ve found that as I keep moving forward, I sometimes stumble upon information that ties everything together. But there are times when I need to backtrack if I totally lost the plot. When I realize I’m still lost after trying to learn more, I hit pause, go back, and fill in the gaps before moving on.

That's really relatable! I often envision the final product while coding, which complicates things when I'm still in the learning phase. I ask myself so many questions trying to understand the why and how!
