Javascript crash course

I honestly don't feel so great about where I am with Javascript right now. Even though I was only first exposed to Javascript 7 days ago, I do not feel like I picked up as much of the syntax and concepts as I wanted to in that time. I feel frustrated when I know what logical steps I want to take to make my program work, but the syntax trips me up for wayyy longer than it should. I have to look everything up every step of the way, and even then things still don't work the way I want them to. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought of our next big project because I do not feel confident in my ability yet.

On the bright side... I am excited about what Javascript allows me to do with the programs I build. When I finally did get things working on the homework assignments last week, it was really fun to see programs come alive and actually interact with them. I can see how Javascript is a powerful tool that opens up a whole new world of possibilities. I just haven't quite mastered how to make those things
