What, if any, other resources do you recommend in addition to SoloLearn to help gain and solidify the learning process?

Question

I am just wondering what, if any, other resources do some of you all use to supplement or even implement your learning of code?
Please dont misunderstand, I am truly enjoying Sololearn and have begun picking up some fundamental information by doing the excersise given with the tutorials, but I can't help but feel like I'm missing something in order to really lock on to the information. Like, I just completed the HTML fundamentals module and though I feel somewhat accomplished for that, at the same time I can truthfully say that I am struggling to feel like I have learned enough to have earned a certificate of completion. I don't know, I'm just feeling as though I am missing something vital to help me fully understand and be able to utilize what I have learned thus far. I feel a bit leery to jump into a new language yet when I don't feel confident that I have truly grasped the concepts from the first language.
Is it just me or does anyone here have any similar feelings and or what would be your suggestions?

Answer 1

Since you are doing webdevelopment with HTML I suggest you continue along the stack so next is CSS then Javascript.

Otherwise you can try challenges with HTML this would gamify your learning and make you proficient.

Another possibility is to open your developer tools from your browser and play with the HTML elements from your favourite website and learn through interactivity.

And finally the best option is to make a couple HTML pages playing around with many of the tags you have just learned like my example code below...

Answer 2

And yes the modules are extremely basic as you have observed, you really need to practice what you have learned and yes supplementing with other information I would highly encourage.

I like using mozzila dev for complete reference and w3 which to me is just a more basic version.

I hope you have a happy journey ahead of you.

So, I'm not even sure how to "like" these comments, but please know, SpaceJam🍵 and Martin Taylor, that I appreciate them both. It is very helpful, thank you! :)

KhanAcademy and books. Lots of books. Books typically have walk throughs to explain concepts and serve as a good reference later on. You're never going to remember everything. That's why we have Google and StackOverflow. And, of course, making your own little projects helps make the knowledge stick.
