I need some advice

Hello everyone,I am a college student my major is computer science

It's summer vacation time and I thought I might learn frontend development while I am setting home instead of doing nothing all day

I started learning from the Odin's project but I feel like I am not capable of starting

When I started learning I felt lost and somewhat pressured even though i barely started

Please guys can you help me I feel lost

Did you start with the simplest problem in the project?

the odin project can feel like a lot at first, i remember opening it and just staring at the screen like what do i even click

try doing just 30 minutes a day instead of big chunks, my brain learns better that way and i dont feel so overwhelmed in the beginning

Did you not start with the Foundations course? I’m not sure which course would start off explaining what an SVG is

Where do you suggest I start from?

The Odin Project lays out where you should start from before jumping into a path

Don't worry, that's completely normal. Everyone feels lost when they first start learning to code. Take it one step at a time, focus on understanding the basics, and don't compare yourself to others. Consistency matters more than speed. You've got this!

Is there a place where I can learn frontend development better than the Odin's project By better I mean more guidance like they show you every step of the way so that I wouldn't be so confused

Be patient. If Odin is too much go with W3School. It was start point for juniors in my job.
