You just described 95% of training courses.
+1...Just teach yourself by coming up with a project you want to do and do it.
Yeah, I'm currently plowing through a MERN stack tutorial. I'm gonna use it as a base for a meal planner application since I do that on a whiteboard from memory every week and it's a real pain. Highly recommend this dude to anyone looking to even dabble in any kind of web development: https://www.udemy.com/user/brad-traversy/ His $13 MERN course was a lot more inline with what I was expecting from a $4200 fullstack class.
I registered www.chriscastor.com and got some stuff on there for now but it definitely needs some finishing touches. Mainly just need to collapse the header options into a menu for mobile devices and I need to populate the projects section. It's really easy for me pick up the design portion because I have at least a faint idea of how I want things to look and act. I know nothing about the server-side and back-end so I was really hoping this course would hold my hand through it.
Not sure how many times I'm going to learn this lesson but professional and expensive does not always mean quality. Sometimes the only way forward is to just slog through the difficult shit yourself. Found some good remote leads on Stackoverflow jobs. May bite the bullet and look towards Richmond for stuff that's at least part time remote. I could maybe stomach that commute if it were just Tues/Thurs.
