I really love computer science, coding and mostly all the amazing things you can do with this knowledge, i feel i finally landed in my world.
I'm doing a Javascript course now and while it is really engaging to learn about how a language like that works and how to build with it, i'm getting quite tired and frustrated..
Now, i'd say i am quite meticulous when studying and i use some studying techniques to really integrate what i'm learning, but that means that 1h or even less lesson can take me all the time i have to study in a day to be understood, noted down and then repeated over the following days..
There are a lot of quite complicated concepts to understand and memorize, and, as i'm also working, sometimes it gets quite tiring.
I feel like there's this huge amount of never ending work and concepts before i can actually start do something cool with the knowledge i have, and i really want to start doing something cool.
I re-started to study after many years so i'd say it's also because of that if i'm not really used to it and i can't process much informations at the time.
How can you get better into gaining knowledge? how can you prevent getting fatigued?
Agreed.
If you're doing this for fun, then don't ruin it for yourself. Doing a course should enable you to do stuff you haven't been able to do before. Just pick a project and do it. And then maybe you'll use some of the things you've learned, maybe you won't. You'll never use all the things you learn, and there is always more to learn.
I've been a principal engineer for a long time, and I still learn new stuff every single day. There is no end. Which is pretty amazing if you ask me. You can always learn more stuff, but you shouldn't feel obligated.
If you start a project, you'll apply some of that knowledge, and it'll stick much more.
