I joined a Front-End development Bootcamp in February, and covering HTML and CSS was pretty easy and I did pretty well with those when we moved on to javascript,we have been learning javascript,for a bout a month or 2, and I am still finding it quite challenging to implement, I understand some concepts, but I really struggle applying them, we have done 1 project, which was to build a to-do app, which I did really bad at, and a to-do app is one of the basics to build when learning JS.

So I took a step back and tried to build a calculator, which, I got the foundation down and had the values of the buttons display in the screen, so manipulating the DOM, I get and can do, but I had to come on stack overflow so many times on how to do something and its getting frustrating that I am not yet able to apply what I have learnt so far with javascript, for a simple calculator, which again is a simple thing to do in JS.

I make it a point to stay away from tutorials,as I do not want to be trapepd in tutorial hell.

Any advice someone can give, I know practicing is the only way, is this part of the journey or am I that dumb to get Javascript?
