I think that's part of the problem though. These courses really don't give me the confidence or the framework to develop projects around.

That said, I'm just doing a bunch of different courses until I get that AHA moment.

You won't progress to the next stage until you marry your practice knowledge with real world requirements.

Just start building it and learn along the way. Seriously -- you wont reach some magical point where you are officially good enough to make software.

The only thing you need to do (for now) build something is get it to work.
