I don’t think your approach is good for average beginners. If I jump here and there like you eg spend only 2 weeks (2hrs a day) to learn basic html and css stuff like you said I don’t understand how you can go in dept and learn things like flexbox, css grid and even use all the libraries like bootstrap to design a good looking website.
Next after the 2 weeks you want me to jump to js and to learn basic things up till conditionals and loops and then the next 2 weeks jumping to learn the same thing in another language like C#? I wouldn’t have even grasp things like es6, objects, higher order functions in js and frameworks like react. This is what the nus iss masters program seems like to me and basically it’s asking too much. Maybe you are a fast learner or I am a slow one idk.
Maybe the way I'm learning is actually damn bad LOL. But it works for me, somehow. Maybe my brain is weird.
My current job is a lot of reporting, and honestly quite boring. Just need to be good at excel and automating some stuff + automate Outlook to email people with some nice email html formatting so the boss can see stuff easily.
I like learning new things, that's why I found programming really interesting. I wasn't learning anything new at work. Kind of regret not having studied it during Uni days, but better late than never right?
So learning programming by learning multiple languages and playing around with their libraries works for me. I keep learning new stuff (Awesome). I see progress with my skills and my wealth of knowledge grows each month (Awesome). I realize: "So this is how memory management kindaaa works with C??" or "Oh! That's why people always say Python is awesome for Data Science, because of their amazing libraries." or "Orhh.. You can do so much stuff with just modern javascript + HTML + CSS?" (Awesome)
No, I'm not fast learner. I always feel damn stupid whenever I learn some new concept. You wouldn't believe how long it takes me to understand some simple concepts. But I just keep practicing and watching youtube videos until I "get" it lor. Like some lightbulb flash in the head.
That's why I said I couldn't understand OOP concepts while learning Python. Then while I learn Javascript, suddenly OOP concepts became damn obvious. Not sure why. As I said, my brain is weird
