While working on several minor projects, I've been reviewing HTML and JavaScript. Although I am proficient in the fundamentals, I am aware that many of the members are experts. What is your go-to resource, trick, or advice for quickly improving your HTML/JS skills? Constantly willing to absorb knowledge from our community
 
Best way I improved was just by building small stuff every day and then cleaning up my own messy code later. MDN for fundamentals + some Codewars/Frontend Mentor challenges helped a lot. And honestly… sometimes just vibe-coding at 2 AM teaches you more than any tutorial :p
 
You can search for websites that offer challenges to gradually climb the ladder. It worked a lot for me.
 
Just use Gemini 2.5 pro for coding, you don't need to learn any HTML/JS anymore
 
Unlike others, I would suggest not to go through the LLM/AI route. The best way to learn is the hard way unfortunately.

Set yourself an idea, a hard project, and start it - you will end up dropping a few projects. But you'll come out with more experience.

Abuse the initial dopamine/motivation project burst to learn faster.

I see where you're coming from, but I must respectfully disagree. I think AI is just a tool, just like fire. It all comes down to how you use it.

You can absolutely learn things the hard way, and there's value in that. But AI can help speed up the process, especially when stuck. Back in the day, you'd post a question and wait hours for someone to respond. With AI, you can often get past blockers in minutes and keep your momentum going.

It's not about taking shortcuts; it's about working smarter. You still have to put in the effort, but AI can help you learn more efficiently and keep projects moving forward.

I automated some stuff over the weekend, which I was going to pay someone to do, with AI's help, without spending a single dime. I learned a lot, and I got the job done as well. :P

Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

It's just human nature to never go through the difficult route. The problem with having an easy solution to a hard problem, is that you don't go through the tribulations to attempt to solve it.

It's the problems, and the hurdles that really teaches you to do something.

It's a rabbit hole, that once you use it one too many times - you don't stop using it.
 
I never studied software development and never attended any courses but I've built websites, mobile apps, games, etc. before AI was a thing. I worked on a ton of html, js, css landing pages for CPA. The quickest way to learn is trial and error method. The shortcut to reach goals is to use AI tools. You can try to code yourself, seek AI for available options, and when you fail, you can take AI assistance to fix bugs. Always breakdown code to understand it part by part. Write your own comments to understand code blocks and reuse them. If you find an exciting landing page or webpage, try to recreate it. The more exciting you feel, the faster you learn.
 
Fix bugs! This is the best way to struggle and learn imo. Building new project is great but it's probably gonna end up incomplete. Rather trying to fix a small bug with 10 tabs searching for answers after chatgpt just regurgitates same things is definitely gonna teach you stuff lol

100% for something basic. I spend a fraction of my time building landing pages with AI these days.

Just yesterday I was preparing to spend 2 hours making a quick web app for myself. Within 10 mins I was done with Gemini.

But there are limits once you start to add complexity (a To Do app in react is not complex. I'd recommend at least learning html/js basics to make it easier to do more complex programming.
 
I would like learn about java 15 years ago but I'm not too smart for that kind of things

I thought the same. My biggest regret is I didn't take the time or effort to learn 15 years ago. It's much easier than you think. The best time to learn is now, especially with AI
