Getting into Web Development and Learning How to Learn

From the above diagram, see ‘A’ as what you don’t know, ‘B’ as what you know but still take effort to do and ‘C’ as what you have mastered (can do this spontaneously). These are the problems one may encounter when learning Web Development:

1. You are not getting better generally. Cause: pile up on ‘B’ i.e trying to learn too many things that you cannot really master and move over to ‘C’ (so they pile up on ‘B’).

I wanna learn it all..hahaha

2. You seem to have mastered something (its now on ‘C’) but deep within you, you know that its not quality that you can do.

Are you really there yet?

3. Your learning progress is sloooowwwww, its taking too much time.

still in lap 1? I’ve finished lap 3.

Solutions:1a. Keep more stuff on ‘A’ (remove from ‘B’). You really don’t learn everything just yet, again I say: you don’t have to right now! . Best approach: Keep things unlearned at ‘A’. 1b. Split what you already now at ‘B’ into sub skills and master them so they make it to ‘C’.

Dont learn it all!

2. Revisit ‘C’ (things you feel you have mastered), i.e take them back to ‘B’ to apply 1b. Experts in coding have been found to do this often.

3. This one is for you if you want to learn something you never knew (‘A’) and master them rapidly (‘C’). Its by going through very high quality and high quantity (like 200 of them) examples or code snippet tutorials in a very compressed amount of time. The challenge here is that examples we usually see are not a lot as much. But to try this in real life, do Internship at a the most busy or patronized mechanic shop in your neighborhood and see yourself come out as an expert apprentice in a few weeks. True that.

like maths, just use examples and turn to a wonder.

Hope I didn’t drain too much of your cognitive resources by this long post (P.S don’t mind typos), but thank you for reading this far and keep Learning!
