What are some practical practice codes to run to practice various aspects of what I've learned?

Question

I've been studying java script (the one I have the most trouble with) html and css here on sololearn I'm returning home and want to practice my skills. What are some good basic and intermediate codes to run?

Any tips on getting all this information to stick? I've been away from my computer and Wi-Fi for three days so I'm ready to practice

Answer 1

Make a simple HTML5 canvas game?

Answer 2

To practice my javascript skills when I first started I did these programs:
- Create a simple page that lets a user roll a pair of dice. Display statistics for the rolls, ie. a tally of 5's rolled, etc.
- Similar to a dice rolling page - make a slot machine game which rotates through various images and assigns points based on what you land on
- Create a timer that lets you either track time elapsed, or performs a countdown.
- Create a calculator that functions similar to the built in Windows calculator, add more complex calculations to it.

Answer 3

should I be worried that I have to use external resources for most of this. I assume with more practice I'll become more self reliable

Answer 4

Not at all. The most important thing is that you are understanding what you are actually doing - not just copy and pasting in stuff. it's totally normal/cool to google and help guides to figure stuff out.
I work as a developer and even I have to use different resources to remember different syntax or even how to do things.
The stuff you use most often will become second nature - but don't sweat not remembering the more niche things.
