My First Dance with JavaScript – A Rookie’s Tale

Hey dev.to fam! I’m Kisolo Benjamin Prince, and this is my first post here. I’ve been hovering around the edges of this community, soaking up all the brilliance, and now I’m stepping into the spotlight.

I’m currently wrestling with JavaScript my goal? To build something useful, like a task tracker that’ll keep my wild ideas in check. I’ve got the basics locked down variables, loops, and functions feel like old friends now but promises and async/await? They’re still throwing me curveballs. Last night, I pieced together a little script to fetch some random API data, and when it worked, I swear I heard applause in my head.

What’s clicking for me: JavaScript’s everywhere you can do anything with it. What’s tricky: chasing down bugs when the console just smirks back with undefined. If you’ve got a favorite resource or a debugging hack that saved your sanity, I’m all ears!

Next on my radar is digging into React to make my projects pop. Any advice for a JavaScript newbie like me? Should I just keep tinkering until the errors stop screaming?

Thanks for reading, I’m stoked to be here and can’t wait to learn from you all!
