This is what I needed! I feel like I (like so many others) have been too eager to learn JS, after CSS, that I haven't made sure I had fully/properly learnt CSS. I have started working on some projects recently and realised that my CSS skills are still not as great as I thought!!!

[@goannacs6861]

Your content feels so comforting. It feels like my journey begins to structure itself and I see some kind of road building that I want to take. I actually am part of codecademy pro and follow the Frontend Career Path - and don't get me wrong. I love it and it helped me to start somewhere. Else I would be so lost. And I have a sense of everything you need and it's easy to just get along. But it's super fast forward and you just have to follow steps and don't really need to think by yourself. There are small projects now and then when you finally have to do things on your own, but this is the moment you realize: shit, I actually don't know what to do. And you don't look up solutions but rather what to do anyway. And that's where I started to look for something beside codecademy (which was recommended by many anyways) and I found some tutorials, articles, videos and so on. But then I found you. And oh my... It's like having found my personal mentor who speaks exact my language and I just understand things all of a sudden. And by the way. I'm German and I don't speak English very often. It's just a blessing that I somehow can speak it kinda well and understand most things. And even though you don't try to speak slow kids English I still feel that you know how to communicate and it makes it so much easier for me. It may be your pronunciation or the tone? I don't know. Nevertheless you are my hero for now and I promise you I will sooner or later buy your pro courses. For now I am at some free courses and find video after Video an am just: 🤯 Codecademy tells you what there is. Kevin tells you what that means. I'm 30 and I know there is hope to become some kind of developer. It's never too late and having a job that's fun probably is a bigger motivation for me than money. I just love this stuff but was too shy and scared my whole life to just do something useful. Instead I spent my day playing games and waiting for my last day on earth. Kinda sad I know 😅 I'm married now and my wife believes in me and that's really helping alot. I will become someone I always wanted to be. 🙂 Good luck to everyone and stay healthy. Physically and mentally.

[@annah2943]

Perfectly said! Kevin, your video was recomended to me and I think it is hard to find someone who wants you to get comfortable at these first few stages so we aren't discouraged down the road

[@djordjek3916]

Another awesome video. That's exactly what I did. I started building projects on Frontend Mentor and I must admit, I became much more confident in my coding skills. I improved them so much. I also used a Frontend Mentor project for my first project where I used Sass and I succeeded and felt great! Thank you very much Kevin once again for this awesome video. Practice is everything!

[@fahimmahmud3115]

I found your channel as a random KZbin suggestion entitled "Challenging the CSS king to a CSS battle", may be it was Kyle from Web Dev simplified. And I am so glad that I found you and this video in particular. You seem like a really nice guy and I believe you really ARE a nice guy. Thanks for all the great tips. Love from Bangladesh.

[@KevinPowell]

Yeah, if you enjoyed that one I had a rematch with him here on my channel :) Glad you're enjoying my other videos :D

[@AdamtheADHDev]

Kevin, you are my yoda. It's like you read my mind with what I am worried about and then create videos that offer a solution immediately. Your channel offers more value than pretty much any paid course I have found. Thank you!

discovering your channel was a miracle for me

[@spencerificus]

Studying JavaScript reminds me how little I know about HTML & CSS in practice. This video reminds me to get good at HTML & CSS first.

[@f_USAF-Lt.G]

But also gives platforms to practice... And opportunity to get involved with Open Source (where free textbooks and tutorials and resources can be found) as a give & take in deliberate learning (continued education)

[@MrJfergs]

I still feel like I need to learn so much, styled components, typescript, graphql, apollo client, redux toolkit..ect. It feels overwhelming to be honest.

[@tristanreid5770]

I know that feeling! Some unsolicited advice: don't worry about learning everything, just learn one thing and try to apply it as much as possible. That way when you need to learn something else the need will be more clear, and the foundation will be stronger. "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

[@MrJfergs]

we're exactly on the same boat, i really want to focus on front-end and i've been wanting to rush things especially with js frameworks such as react but i know i'm not yet ready for it since i don't have much knowledge about javascript.
