Is It Beneficial to Redo Projects for a Better Grasp of Each Concept?
After doing a course, you might often wonder, "Should I redo the projects from my course to ensure I understand each concept?"
While revisiting course projects can certainly reinforce your understanding, try creating different projects from scratch, which will make sure you step out of your comfort zone.
Working on different project will exposes you to a wide range of problems and scenarios. This diversity will not only sharpens your problem-solving skills but also will broaden your understanding of JavaScript.
You're likely to encounter new concepts and techniques that may not be covered in your course material, thereby expanding your knowledge base.
When you're working on a new project and hit a roadblock, you're compelled to research and find solutions independently. This could involve reading documentation, browsing through StackOverflow threads, or debugging with console.log or developer tools. These are all essential skills for a successful developer.
The more you practice, the more adept you become at troubleshooting and problem-solving, which are key skills for a developer.
In conclusion, while redoing course projects can be beneficial, pushing further and creating new projects from scratch can take your learning to the next level.

Here’s something to ask yourself…
Why do some developers build amazing projects effortlessly, while others struggle to even start?
The most successful developers out there have 3 things in common:
- They generate creative project ideas with ease
- They confidently build projects from start to finish
- They have a portfolio that impresses and lands them jobs
You’re probably thinking it’s because they’re naturally gifted. They’ve been coding for years, attended prestigious bootcamps, or are just insanely talented.
You’d think that someone who builds stunning projects is in a whole different league — right?
Not so fast.
What’s different is that they know how to approach projects.
I don’t mean that they’re some coding geniuses who write flawless code in their sleep.
Instead, I mean that they know how to break down their ideas into manageable steps, focus on execution, and follow a clear plan to bring their ideas to life.
They don’t feel overwhelmed. They don’t waste hours stuck, wondering what to do next.
“HA! I told you. They’re just smarter than me. That’s why they can do that!”
That’s probably what you’re thinking now, right? I used to think that too.
What took me years of trial and error to figure out:
Most developers don’t have any formal project-building process.
If you’re like me, you studied JavaScript fundamentals — you learned how to write loops, create functions, and use arrays. But when it came time to actually build something from scratch, it hit you like a ton of bricks that coding knowledge alone isn’t enough.
I’m Taha Jiruwala, and I’ve been a developer and educator for years. When I first started coding, I struggled to bridge the gap between learning concepts and building real-world projects. I knew that if I wanted to create impressive projects and showcase my skills, I had to figure out how to approach project-building systematically.
But as someone who felt overwhelmed by large tasks, this wasn’t easy. I wanted to create projects I could be proud of, not just cobble together random bits of code. That’s when I realized the key was having a clear, repeatable process.
I started focusing on how to break down projects into smaller steps. How to go from an idea to a well-structured plan. How to ensure every step was achievable and kept me moving forward.
It wasn’t easy at first. I made plenty of mistakes.
I wasted weeks stuck on projects, gave up halfway through ideas, and felt like I wasn’t making progress.
But once I figured it out — how to come up with ideas, plan each step, and execute confidently — everything changed for me:
- I built projects I was proud of
- My portfolio stood out, and I started getting noticed
- I felt confident tackling new challenges
Rome wasn’t built in a day…
Getting to the point where building projects felt second nature took months of trial and error. But as I started sharing what I learned with others, they kept asking for more details about my process.
This led to an email course, Learn to Build JavaScript Projects.
Thousands of developers have transformed their skills through this course, and I’d love to see you become the next success story.
I was given an assignment by a company in Chennai to set up email notifications using any provider and to switch providers automatically if the emails failed to send three times.
At first, it seemed overwhelming, but after taking this course, I learned how to break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps. This made it easier to approach the project, and I completed it successfully.
This course gave me the confidence and clarity to handle real-world projects.
