HELP! Beginner Issue

[atcaliber]

Hello guys and gals, I went through lesson 3 and now am at the beginning of lesson 4. The issue is, that i don't understand a thing about what which function does and why. Should I go further and It will be more clear or should I stop or what? Need an advice from you guys, thanks for your time...

I think you should continue. Personally, I have had to watch that section more than twice. I kinda got a hang of it while watching it the third time, and I wrote the codes for all three 'sol' files from start to finish myself, only consulting the video when I was stuck for more than 5 minutes without real progress. Continue, Champ! You've got this!

@atcaliber definitely continue in my opinion and write down the code yourself, don't just watch!

I was in the same boat as you, a couple of years ago and went down the rabbit hole of front-end development which helped me a lot.

So if you really want to understand more on what's happening at this point. I strongly recommend to do a basic JavaScript course, there's a lot on YouTube for free and it will help you a lot.

Just spend a little bit of time on that, learn about variables, arrays, object and their method, functions and async programming and maybe also a little bit of typescript (it's a highly valuable skill these days)

Solidity looks a lot like JavaScript but with some special types.

Good luck!
