Teaching While Learning (Part 3)

My Real Experience Starting a Web Development Workshop 

Real-Time Projects, Real Learning

After learning from the first two weeks, I was very clear about one thing — if my students really wanted to understand web development, they had to build something real. So Week 3 became Real-Time Projects Week.

This week was less about teaching and more about guiding.

I told my junior that now they would stop just listening and start creating. At first, they were nervous. Many of them felt they were not ready. I understood this feeling because I had felt the same way when I started learning web development.

So I reminded them:
No one feels ready — you become ready by doing.


🛠️ Week 3: Building Instead of Memorizing

I divided the work into small, simple projects. Nothing complex. The goal was not perfection, but understanding.

Some of the projects were:

  • A basic personal profile webpage

  • A simple landing page layout

  • A small webpage using images, links, and lists

I explained the project requirements clearly and then gave them time to work on their own. Instead of giving direct solutions, I asked guiding questions when they were stuck.

This helped them think instead of copy.


🤝 Learning Teamwork and Problem-Solving

One of the best things that happened this week was teamwork. Juniors started helping each other. If someone solved a problem, they explained it to others in simple words. This created a positive learning environment.

They also learned an important real-world lesson:
Google is a developer’s best friend.

I encouraged them to search, read errors, and try different solutions. This is how real developers work in the industry.


💡 Mistakes Became Learning Points

There were many errors — broken layouts, missing tags, and pages that didn’t load properly. But instead of feeling scared, Juniors started enjoying the process of fixing mistakes.

They understood that:

  • Bugs are normal

  • Errors are part of development

  • Fixing issues builds confidence

Seeing Juniors smile when their page finally worked was one of the best moments for me as a Senior.


🧠 What Real-Time Projects Taught All of Us

This week was a turning point.

Juniors learned:

  • How HTML concepts are used in real projects

  • How to break problems into small steps

  • How to debug and improve their code

And I learned:

  • Teaching means guiding, not controlling

  • Confidence grows through action

  • Real learning happens outside comfort zones


🎯 My Belief Became Stronger

This week proved something I always believed:
Practical learning is more powerful than theory.

When Juniors build something on their own, even if it’s simple, they feel proud. That pride motivates them to learn more.


🚀 Moving Forward

Week 3 changed the energy of the workshop. Junior became more confident, more curious, and more engaged. They no longer feared HTML — they started enjoying it.

This journey is still ongoing, but one thing is clear:
Real projects don’t just teach coding — they teach thinking.

And that is the most important skill in web development.

How I Fixed the Prisma Error

How I Fixed the Prisma "The table public.User does not exist" Error It was one of those moments every developer dreads—you've set up your project, written your Prisma schema, and you're ready to seed the database. You run: npm run seed …and immediately get greeted with this error: PrismaClientKnownRequestError: The table `public.User` does not exist in the current database. I stared at it for longer than I'd like to admit. The User model was clearly defined in my schema.prisma file, so why was Prisma saying the table didn't exist? After a bit of digging, I realized the issue wasn't with my code at all—it was with my understanding of how Prisma works. If you're seeing this error too, here's exactly why it happens and how to fix it. Why This Error Happens One of the biggest misconceptions for developers new to Prisma (myself included) is believing that defining a model in schema.prisma automatically creates the corresponding table in the databas...

Design Web Pages using CSS

CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets ) is a styling language used to control the layout and appearance of web pages. It's an essential tool for web developers and designers to create visually appealing and user-friendly websites. In this blog, we will explore the basics of CSS, its types, and some exciting properties that can make your web pages interactive and interesting. Types of CSS There are three types of CSS: 1. Inline CSS: This type of CSS is applied directly to an HTML element using the style attribute. It has the highest priority among all CSS types. 2. Internal CSS: This type of CSS is defined within the <head> section of an HTML document using the <style> tag. 3. External CSS: This type of CSS is stored in an external file with a .css extension and linked to an HTML document using the <link> tag.
