00:00:01,870 --> 00:00:09,220
Hey there, I wanted to take a quick video to explain something, and this is something that I made

2
00:00:09,220 --> 00:00:14,380
the mistake of when I first started off, when I first started teaching myself programming.

3
00:00:15,370 --> 00:00:22,360
You see, you start off with e-mail and things are fairly simple, you learn some tags, you learn some

4
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,400
attributes and you're starting to get it.

5
00:00:25,450 --> 00:00:31,600
How websites are built and then you learn about success and all the things that you can do to websites

6
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,610
to make them pretty and beautiful.

7
00:00:34,970 --> 00:00:42,140
But then you start encountering all these CSFs properties, there's so many of them, there's no way

8
00:00:42,140 --> 00:00:49,670
for you to remember all of them, and they each act differently on the element so that things like positioning

9
00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:57,350
a navigation bar becomes really difficult because you have one button that for some reason is tiled

10
00:00:57,500 --> 00:00:59,570
differently and you can't figure out why.

11
00:01:00,050 --> 00:01:02,300
And that is a problem that everybody has.

12
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:06,670
Access is notoriously difficult and frustrating to learn.

13
00:01:07,900 --> 00:01:13,960
But this is the mistake that I made when I first started off, I thought I had to know everything and

14
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,850
everything in CSFs before I even touched JavaScript.

15
00:01:19,420 --> 00:01:26,950
So I spent way too much time learning everything about everything, about CSFs getting frustrated and

16
00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:33,630
frustrated because I couldn't get my websites to look like somebody that has been doing it for years.

17
00:01:36,540 --> 00:01:41,970
And here's the thing, if this was that easy, then every single person would be doing it.

18
00:01:42,390 --> 00:01:50,280
But it's not it's tough to master these skills, but each day you make small little progress step by

19
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,900
step, so you become better.

20
00:01:53,100 --> 00:02:00,180
However, I don't want you to fall into the trap that I did that is to not start off learning JavaScript

21
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:07,740
right away because you see these circles over here, the circle, the size of them, represent how important

22
00:02:07,740 --> 00:02:09,060
they are to your career.

23
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:18,070
Now, if you want to be a web designer, designing websites and making things look pretty, then CSFs

24
00:02:18,070 --> 00:02:19,250
is quite important to you.

25
00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:27,340
However, if you want to be a developer, somebody that works on logic on JavaScript and builds applications,

26
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:36,010
well, you need to focus on JavaScript because although you need to know success, those are things

27
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:39,120
that you're going to work on while working on JavaScript.

28
00:02:39,820 --> 00:02:47,020
So each time you're learning JavaScript and working with websites, you're also as in effect, working

29
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:47,800
with success.

30
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,530
So although your knowledge might not feel complete right now with success by using JavaScript and starting

31
00:02:56,530 --> 00:03:01,380
with JavaScript as soon as possible, we focus on the most important topic at hand.

32
00:03:01,870 --> 00:03:07,740
And little by little, as you're learning JavaScript, you're also going to learn more and more about

33
00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:08,380
access.

34
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,840
So I encourage you trust me on this, because I've been through it as well.

35
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:20,280
Don't start learning every single CSFs property trying to memorize everything, because that's not how

36
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:20,760
you work.

37
00:03:21,180 --> 00:03:27,840
A web developer is somebody that uses JavaScript, JavaScript to make smart applications.

38
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,530
And that is what your focus should be on.

39
00:03:33,060 --> 00:03:39,630
And along the way, you will also build your e-mail and access knowledge, and that is the path that

40
00:03:39,630 --> 00:03:45,330
we're taking with this course, not the longest, slowest path, but the most efficient path.

41
00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:48,680
I'll see in the next video.
