   This one really resonates with me. I was doing the Zero to Expert Javascript course on Udemy instructed by Jonas Schmetman and I was doing well with it until I reached the Part II of the fundamentals. I felt like I wasn't grasping what he was teaching. I made tons of notes and it made sense for…

   Try Scrimba's JavaScript free course. I was in the same boat as you just a few days ago. I understand the concept but couldn't put or piece them all together, but since starting the course few days ago, a lot of things made much sense. And the platform, it's amazing! I'm not affiliated with them…

   One issue I encountered with Odin is the limited exposure to practical JavaScript coding exercises, which made it challenging to apply the concepts when completing project. If you're still struggling, I suggest you take a look at Scrimba's JS course. You code from the get go.

   This Scrimba JavaScript course is pretty good and interactive but it requires you to have done the HTML and CSS course beforehand, which doesn’t take that long either. You could also look into the JS courses on freeCodeCamp and Codecademy.

   Im sorry to hear that but I get it tbh. They can be hella rude. Personally I recommend if you’re struggling with JavaScript freeCodeCamp.org that starts from absolute basics, CSX which you do a little quiz and it places you at the level you’re currently at or Scrimba which I believe has a free…
