How long did it take you to fully grasp the concept of Javascript (arrays, loops, objects)

Hey Tim, I'm currently doing the full stack JavaScript course. and doesn't sound like I'm much further ahead than you. I haven't been learning the front end trifecta much longer than you (maybe 5-6 weeks). I would say I have decent surface level understanding of the concepts you mentioned. I think it's like anything, some things click instantly, sometimes you need to go over things many times. One thing for me is that, don't necessarily think you need to watch the same videos over and over. For whatever reason, the way a particular person has explained something just may not register with you, you may go on with your learning and see in another source these concepts explained, and you will get the lightbulb moment.

I don't think JavaScript is considered particularly hard a language to learn. For what it's worth, I'm learning Java through regular university at the moment and I find it many times more baffling than JavaScript.

Just keep plugging away at it my dude and you'll be fine.

Hey Daniel, Thanks for the response... Yeah, I just have to keep revising parts that I don't understand. It's just that feeling of frustration of knowing how things work and what they are, but at the same time not understanding how to implement them when required... If that makes any sense lol. I really want to have a good understanding towards JavaScript because I know if I can be decent at it, other languages will be able to ease in nicely...

You might be surprised. Think of what you've learned already in a few short weeks. I'm sure if you really had to, and using some online resources for reference, you could construct a functional, aesthetically pleasing website. You might not know how to do it from scratch by heart, but you understand the basics of how to build a website, add some basic functionality to it, etc. These are massive topics we are trying to learn in short periods of time, not everything is gonna stick right away.

I mean it takes some time to get good at coding. I have no background as well and i have been taking courses from treehouse since october. I finished front-end web developement about 2 weeks ago and now im taking back-end web developement course. I can say that i have come to a pretty good point on coding and it took me 6 months and during the process i stopped to code like 3 times for weeks. But I started over and over again, so never give up. There is always going to be times that you will feel STUCK but dont worry, overtime you will figure it out. Learning to code is a BUMPY WAY but with enough practice and persistence to learn, I ASSURE YOU WILL BECOME A GOOD DEVELOPER OVERTIME.

So only one thing... BE PERSISTENT ABOUT IT

ps. arrays loops should take areound 2-3 weeks to understand where objects are harder compared to the other two. There is lots of methods and infinite amount of possible things you can do with objects so it will take a lot of time...(minimum 3 months in my opinion)
