1) Build shit! Get an account on Google App Engine, and start launching real web apps, with real CRUD features.
2) AVOID JQUERY. Try as much as you can to write javascript with 0ut Jquery. Jquery is a way overbloated API and you’ll spend too much time learning it instead of javascript. document.querySelector() will work just fine!
3) Post every bit of code you write on GitHub, and try to convince people/friends smarter than you to read it and give you advice.
4) Seek failure, and just keep learning!
Good luck, Simpliv 🙂
