getting the most value out of theo's T3 stack tutorial - pre reqs?
Hi, So i've been making my way through the tutorial at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkOSUVzOAA4
I'm making progress following it, but am worried about how much should make sense to me as I go through it ;
The bits around prisma , vercel and clerk all make a lot of sense to me, so i'm happy with this, but the JS/TS specifics bits, are not intuitive for me.
What would you say is a pre-requisite level of understanding before I should digest this content?
Would it make more sense for me to complete Colt Steele's Web Development course first, or what's the most relevant content to look consider?
I hope this sort of question is acceptable here; There's quite a lot of resources out there, and I'm somewhat blinded by choice.

There are a million ways of going about it, depending on what fundamentals you want to train. You could try a small "pure" Express/React web site. That basically removes all "magic" except React. Would force you to write a good bit of "vanilla" JS/TS on the backend and some react stuff for front end.
If that feels too simple, one can try a regular NextJS website without the things that would make it "T3".
But honestly you can you just go for it all at once and figure out the parts you don't understand as you need em. It might seem daunting, but everything really can be split into managable pieces...

what's your experience with js/ts so far?
imo you cant really get good at weird ts stuff through tutorials, you just need to hit your head against the wall a million times
went through this a few years back: https://eloquentjavascript.net/
Other than that, I've made some simple changes to an OSS project to troubleshooting NestJS's handling of CORS directives.
That'd be the height of it. So I think my best bet is to spend some time on practicing the fundamentals, but not sure where resource would be the best use of time/effort before proceeding with the t3 stack tutorials (if that makes sense to do.)
I'm used to supporting web apps, and deploying them in containers/kubernetes etc, but haven't written much code in JS/TS myself yet.
If you went through eloquent js you’re good enough at js
Maybe do the free part of total typescript
Then go back to building stuff and if you don’t understand something learn it

I like the sound of that. Thanks for the feedback everyone.
time to write out my plan and execute 🤜 🤛
