Also note that the latter course is scheduled to be updated in a couple of months, you might get extra reinforcement if you take it now, and then also take the updated version when it is released.

12,996 PointsI've just started that programme (OOP JS), that's when I realised nothing is going in, i feel like i'm lying to myself, i probably could go through it and answer the questions and complete the tasks, but by the end i'd still be none the wiser.. maybe its just not for me.. just can't get the concepts of it and it's really frustrating me

Also, if you find you can complete the challenges and quizzes, perhaps you "get" more than you think!

12,996 PointsThanks nickyp, i have been through it and i know bits thanks to these courses, but ask me to do some "real world" coding and i'm clueless
nickyp
2,140 PointsWell, these topics can sometimes be challenging to beginners. My only advice is - practice, practice, practice
Dean Paterson
12,996 PointsThanks nickp, i'll keep at it, possibly start from the beginning !!
