I joined a Front-End development Bootcamp in February, and covering HTML and CSS was pretty easy and I did pretty well with those when we moved on to javascript,we have been learning javascript,for a bout a month or 2, and I am still finding it quite challenging to implement, I understand some concepts, but I really struggle applying them, we have done 1 project, which was to build a to-do app, which I did really bad at, and a to-do app is one of the basics to build when learning JS.
So I took a step back and tried to build a calculator, which, I got the foundation down and had the values of the buttons display in the screen, so manipulating the DOM, I get and can do, but I had to come on stack overflow so many times on how to do something and its getting frustrating that I am not yet able to apply what I have learnt so far with javascript, for a simple calculator, which again is a simple thing to do in JS.
I make it a point to stay away from tutorials,as I do not want to be trapepd in tutorial hell.
Any advice someone can give, I know practicing is the only way, is this part of the journey or am I that dumb to get Javascript?

This is actually not a technical question ! Im learning Javascript (I started a few months ago with AngularJs for a big school project) and am now focusing on plain Js, and Im still quite a noob but Im starting to get the 'abstract logic' of it and im having fun.
I 've often heard that jQuery was a bit 'hacky' and not always a clean way to achieve things, but it does work efficiently. My question is: can I keep it to 'good ol' Js forever or will I inevitably have some day to use jQuery for tricky things? Can I have your advises on that? Thanks !
(sorry if Im not in the good section?)
I think this question might be better suited for r/webdev.
But yes you can avoid using jQuery altogether. jQuery is great for DOM manipulation. It has a stigma for turning large projects with a lot of jQuery into 'spaghetti code' but it is still widely used. That being said, whatever you can do in jQuery can be done in different ways using JS, CSS or HTML.

I have googled about the implementation of straight road using Javascript.
http://codeincomplete.com/games/racer/v1-straight/
However, I would like to check if Phaser framework gives a nice way to implement the straight road vertical scrolling background?
Here is what I expected the background scrolling the same as this game

Thanks you in advance for guiding and sorry for any mistakes in this question.
I think you're getting downvoted because there is no 'nice and clever' way to implement a whole game on any engine/platform. If you want to build something, software takes a ton of work. Don't expect things to be magically done for you. So a tutorial is about the best you can hope for, and if you google it there's a lot of results.
That being said, here's a Phaser tutorial that's magically done for you, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it nice and clever. GLHF!

I've been in the process of making a career change towards front-end development. I've taken several beginning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript courses but am feeling stuck.
I'm not sure where to take all these skills and apply them. I've thought of creating an app for practice, but don't understand the back-end of things. Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who has taken front end dev courses and is looking to advance to the next level (where ever that may be)?
Hopefully this makes sense and others have been or are in a similar circumstance. Thanks!

I would say a great way to learn new stuff is to watch video courses. I've learned a lot from sites like http://www.lynda.com/ and http://tutsplus.com/ since there are courses for everyone - beginners to experts.
I would say, try to get the basics about a CMS like Wordpress, and start developing themes to try out your front-end skills.
If you are interested in some PHP development, I'd recommend to read about it and try out some PHP frameworks that will get you started.

I'm just starting to learn web development and I've been wondering If I can build solid websites using only HTML, CSS and maybe some PHP.
I don't want anything complicated I wanna start simple just to get used to those languages before starting to learn JS because I feel it's a bit more complicated and I'm not good with programming languages.
I wanna be able to create something like this: http://enactus.org/
I can't comment so i'll post as an answer. So please no down voting.
You can create a website but that site won't be an interactive website. What I mean is that the site will not be able to get data from users and save it in databases (well you can if you wan't to use some php but php is also more on the math, logic and stuffs that you would typically use on javascript.), or buttons that would do stuffs without refreshing the website... So to summarize it if you want to learn website designing first HTML and CSS is a way to go and also can be a great start for beginners like us. And if you want your site to be interactive start learning Javascript and PHP.

Let me preface by saying I do apologise if this is off-topic, I just want to get some pointers on where to head with this.
I desperately want to be good at programming, I'm a 28 year old designer and want to head in a more technical direction but I'm really struggling. My goals are to work ideally with Ruby/Rails or similar with the ability to build full apps.
I've been using HTML/CSS as a designer for years so that's fine, but I've spent the last three months learning JavaScript and I just can't seem to actually make stuff with it. I've read multiple books, been through CodeAcademy and I get it, I understand the syntax, patterns and such when it's presented before me, but when it comes to actually making something happen on my own, I draw a blank. Tried making a quiz, can't even work out where to begin.
Seriously, the most exciting thing I can do is validate one form field or something. It's been 3 months, I feel like I should be way further in than this, otherwise I'm never going to get into Rails or any other language.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Learn some server side programming and then the javascript will more likely fall into place as you will find a real use for it. Start simple, like creating a page that lists items from a single table in a database. That will get you the basics, then start adding some frills using javascript, like sorting the columns, deleting rows, etc.
Good luck and don't give up!
