If you don’t fully understand some code, carry on coding, repeating the same patterns, the same blocks of code. If you don’t understand why you have to include certain things, carry on including them and typing them and finish the programmes as the instructions tell you to. It will help you in the long run and by sheer repetition and exposure you will have “click” moments and you will be able to triangulate from all the times you’ve coded the same patterns without fully understanding. There is no learning without repetition and habit and familiarity play a fundamental role in learning. Sometimes you have to get used to things before you can fully understand them.
I have had several false starts with JavaScript. I have enrolled in two courses on udemy plus all the free resource on freeCodeCamp and the internet at large. It took me a while to grasp the patterns, the gist of JS. Learning to code I have realised that I need to get the same information and the same concepts from different sources.
It is almost as if I cannot believe just one person/source. Things start to click for me when I read/hear/access different explanations (or the same explanations by different people) of the same concept. I know it sounds silly because if something is logical and can be accessed with your capacity of reasoning, why should I need to triangulate from different sources to start getting it? I guess learning has a social component or I do have a social component as a learner.
