Project tutorials are a very popular way to start building your first few projects. But unfortunately most people go about it in the wrong way and don’t end up learning very much in the process.
In this article, I will provide some tips on how to properly learn from tutorials and gain confidence to start building your own projects. I will also provide advice on how to avoid tutorial hell.
I’ve had exactly the opposite thought - every tutorial or explanation I find starts from scratch with create-react-app or something when I already have a project and I just want to know how to use your library.
I was thinking about picking languages from scratch. If it’s about libraries it is kinda expected to know some basics.
Yeah this gets to me as well. Worst of all is that I think these people are missing a trick. Create another article with the basic setup and link through to it instead and you get a free SEO win.
I have been through the same. I can find a lot of tutorials on the super easy stuff but more advanced or just a bit more advance stuff is up to me to figuring out. It is so bad that i start with documentations first then try it out myself, then google problems. I do not checkout tutorials anymore, only if i am super new on the subject. Chat gpt has been a lot more helpful, either it helps me with the problem or give me hints on what to google for or try out.
