I can understand and follow along well enough with the blockchain course but once i try to make my own project i fell like i know nothing.

anyone else in the same boat??

i cant understand the core concepts of setting up a smart contract and what goes into it, but once it starts with writing the code i just freeze up. I know the solution is to just keep going and keep coding but i was wondering if anyone has any tips or insight

If you're struggling with writing the code for a smart contract, there are a few things you can do to help yourself get started and keep going:

Break the problem down into smaller parts: Smart contracts can be complex, and trying to write the entire code at once can be overwhelming. Instead, try to break the problem down into smaller, more manageable parts. Write out a list of the functions you need to include in your contract and work on them one at a time.

Use templates: There are many templates available online for writing smart contracts. These can be a great starting point, especially if you're new to writing code. You can find templates for a variety of programming languages, such as Solidity, which is commonly used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.

Read and learn from examples: There are many examples of smart contracts available online that you can study and learn from. Take the time to read through some of these examples, and try to understand how they work. This can help you get a better sense of how to structure your own code.

Get help from the community: There are many online forums and communities dedicated to smart contract development. If you're struggling with a particular aspect of your code, consider posting a question or seeking advice from others in the community.

Practice, practice, practice: Writing code can be challenging, but it's a skill that improves with practice. Keep working on your code, even if it's just a little bit each day. Over time, you'll become more comfortable with the process and will be able to write more complex contracts with ease.

Thank you, I really needed this.

Many are here for community and helping each other get them through their coding journey.

I was feeling the same way and thought it was only me.😅

Take your time I would suggest after you finish some concept delete the whole code and re-write from scratch just what you remember a once you do that 4 times it will start making sense I did that and now I feel okay, remember not to binge the course.
