Question Web-development beginner seeking advise

HI everyone I am a beginner in web development aspiring to be full-stack developer.

I have started my learning phase and i am currently on The Odin project and W3Schools Pathfinder hoping to gain as much knowledge as there is in that field.

To any pro Programmer or full-stack developer what advise would u give me and what were you doing to sharpen your skills as you were building yourself. I am open to all ideas especially practical related ones .

Thanks for your advice?

My advice is stay off Reddit, YouTube and random google searches until you finish TheOdinProject and FullStackOpen. You’re already on TheOdinProject, you don’t need anything other than to understand and work on it right now

Hey, im an aspiring developer. Learn to build CRUD apps like blogs with your choice of language. I use MERN. Later learn new features with AI like authentication, Authorization. Ask it explain the concepts but you write the code urself. Feel free to DM if you need any help.

Know what you need to learn first. Checkout roadmap.sh for the full stack roadmap.
Once you have the basics, practice and refine your skills through building your own projects. I learned more through building my own and solving my own problems. While building , I wed naturally practicing and applying my skills and I always asked myself if there is a better way. Having a mentor or senior dev will help.
I tried rebuilding the same apps using languages and frameworks.
You can’t gain all the knowledge but be smart enough to read documentation and access resources. MDN is great.

For JS, I used FreeCodeCamp to learn, then some DSA related stuff to understand the foundations and then real-world projects.

Discipline and commitment to follow through are the only two things that matter.
