Back when I started, I tried to learn from a huge 800-page book before even touching a computer.

It was a total waste of time compared to just using a site like freeCodeCamp and building a tiny project, even a broken one, right away. Getting that first 'Hello World' to actually show up on a screen made the whole thing click. What was the first real thing you got to work when you were starting out?

Mine was a terrible website (it was just green text on black) but it ran!

Honestly that's the real spirit of it. It might look rough but if it works, it works. That's how you learn.
