I did the free trial for the full stack JavaScript techdegree. I went through the requirements of the first project the random quote generator and I don't know where to start. I have gone through the course material and I cant understand how to complete this project. I have checked other resources of how to make a random quote generator and the code is a lot different than the code for treehouse. I checked the random quote generator on free code camp and it seems like it takes a lot less code. I also looked at completed projects on github and don't know where to start.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 8,605 Pointssounds like you are a complete novice in programming, maybe the tech degree is for later down the road, check out some introduction to programming courses first, treehouse has many, i also like codecademy.com which is free, learn to code there and come back to the techdegree

8,993 PointsI have gone through the regular tutorials for JavaScript from treehouse and codecademy. I can do the programming tasks for the tutorial. I'm not a novice to programming. I just can't understand the code that is required for the random quote generator. I understand the concepts but can't figure out how to use them to code this project.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 8,605 Pointsif you download the project files, and open the javascript file in the js folder, there are details, step by step instructions within it. It takes you by the hand and guides you to the solution, just take it one step at a time

8,993 PointsI have decided that the front end developer techdegree is the best option at this time. After I complete the front end techdegree I will then move on to the full stack developer techdegree. I will also practice full stack JavaScript with treehouse and download the project files like you said. Thank you
