Hi I had 1 year brake from learning becouse of the health issues, I had pretty good experience with HTML and CSS made couple of projects with them later I finished about 80% of javascript course but unfortunately I forggot everything https://vidmate.onl/ . Should I build first some projects with html and css or just go back straight to js start the course over and later learn react and while learning react I will pick up on html and css again ? What would be the best approach?
You probably have remembered more than you realise; if you go through the JS course again from the beginning, you might find a lot of the material is already familiar, or at least not difficult to grasp; an easy re-introduction to your learning journey IMHO.
If you feel your HTML and CSS skills need a refresher, then starting by creating a few projects using these languages can be a good option. This will allow you to recall basic concepts and improve your web development skills. Also, working on projects can help you apply your knowledge and better understand how HTML and CSS work in real-world scenarios. However, if you're interested in re-learning JavaScript and starting to learn React, you can go straight to these technologies. Many resources and courses provide an introduction to JavaScript, which can be useful to refresh your knowledge. Then you can start learning React and creating interesting projects that will help you solidify concepts and improve your ability to create dynamic web applications.
I look forward to the OP re-posting the same post, but peppered with spam links: https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/13iflg4/how_to_come_back_to_learning/
