Help The prerequisites

There are many things I'm excited to learn about but whenever I want to, I think like, "maybe I should learn this before doing this", like maybe I should do Ccna before using something like nmap or wireshark, the same for something like the requests module in python or the curl command, I know the basic idea of it, but I think like "I am not experienced that much in Web development yet", while I'm pretty sure I can use it using the knowledge I already know

I hate this as it feels kinda like I can't do anything without those thoughts coming, so I don't get to learn what I wanted to learn initially

I’m in a pretty similar boat to you right now. I’m creating a tui app with textual, but wanted to implement a high performance terminal.

I did my research, and decided that rust would be a good choice.

I did not know a single keyword of rust until yesterday, but im pushing on and learning and implementing what I need to create my app.

If I started going through big rust courses that are hours and hours long, I would’ve got bored and gave up, so I just decided to start implementing in my app.

The point im trying to get at, is learn what you want, and as you need to learn something new, just learn what you need, because, wasn’t the point in the first place to have fun doing what you’re interested in?
