● Use Documentation
● Just Watch One Project Video and Build Along with It
● Start Building Your Own Projects from Scratch
● It’s fine if It’s taking a lot of time to build stuff

DETAILED :
● Try not to buy courses:
In my experience, I’ve found that avoiding long courses and focusing on documentation is more efficient. While long courses have their place and are valuable to many, I personally found a more direct approach (using documentation and building projects) to be more effective.
● Building stuff might be better than watching videos:
While long courses and YouTube videos can be helpful, I think it’s important to be mindful of getting stuck in a cycle of re-watching the same introductory content. Focusing on building projects has helped me move forward more effectively.
● Use Documentation:
Documentation is your best friend. Not everything needs to be learned through videos. Getting comfortable with documentation will not only save you time but will also make you more efficient in the long run.
● Just Watch One Project Video and Build Along with It:
Pick a high-quality YouTube video that walks you through building a complete full-stack app. Follow along, code alongside the instructor, and really engage with the process. This hands-on learning approach will teach you more than passive watching ever could.
● Start Building Your Own Projects from Scratch:
Now comes the most exciting part — building your own projects. There’s nothing quite like creating something from the ground up using your creativity. Share your projects with the public; you might find that people love what you’ve built!
● It’s fine if It’s taking a lot of time to build stuff:
Learning takes time, and that’s perfectly fine. Don’t rush or try to cram everything into a short period. Slow and steady wins the race — but make sure your approach is efficient. Remember, it’s better to take time and master something than to struggle later.
● Do Open Source Contribution:
Contributing to open-source projects is one of the best ways to develop real-world skills. You’ll get the chance to work in a production environment, rather than just on localhost:3000. Plus, you’ll meet and collaborate with some amazing people in the community.
This is my short yet comprehensive guide to becoming a full-stack developer in an efficient way in 2024.
