Weekly Update #5 - Getting stuck

in art •  6 years ago 

Hi!

This article is in the art section instead of coding because I set the tags before writing it, and since I planned on sharing some of the work I finished related to 3D, it would've made sense to add "art" as the first tag. I ended up not adding images, since I want to share most of it or everything when it's ready, and forgot to edit the tags. Sorry for the confusion!

FreeCodeCamp does a decent job as far as I can see with teaching people how to use the code itself, but when it comes to challenges, they ask you to combine code in ways they didn't teach you, and that makes it frustrating as hell.

However, as you said as well, forcing people to use google and to search for solutions to all the problems that appear after combining code in different ways and trying to solve the challenge many times is a really useful skill that FreeCodeCamp does a good job at teaching people.

I just wish they would tell people from the beginning that they create challenges with that purpose in mind, because some people may simply get frustrated and give up thinking the challenges are poorly made (or they did mention all that but I just didn't see it - not sure).

And the 3D scene will come, at some point in the future, after everything's finished. I'm not sure how long it will last, but the second it's done, I'm posting it here.

Thanks for reading and commenting! :)

Welcome for the comment! ~^^~
Ah, well I was getting that vibe one way or the other but decided to commentate on that aspect~
Yeah, being explicit doesn't hurt from time to time. Especially for people new to the field and when people don't have so much free time to hack away. However, a skill that needs to be reinforced in this day and age to be quite honest.
Well, good luck with that :p
