Luckily, since I really wanted to learn, I had to seek alternate resources. I was fortunate to stumble on Stanford's Cs106a taught by Mehran Sahami and it changed my life forever. That man is the gold standard for what a teacher should be. He broke down complex ideas and made them look so simple.
Since then, I use a combination of different resources to learn said "difficult concepts". Recursion, got it...pointers, got it too. I have used Standford courses, Berkeley course, udemy, Udacity, Coursera and even youtube to learn. These sites have some really good teachers.
I have since come to understand that CS is really not that difficult. All is takes is a willingness to learn and a good resource to learn from.
However, I do have difficulties in architecting and developing a fully functional application.
How did you solve this problem?
1. it's a rust based desktop app and not based on electron.
2. it's cross platform - available on win, mac, linux and wasm.
3. it's a suite of apps and not just a photoshop clone.
4. it's free and open source.
5. it looks good.
6. it's amassing a community of contributors.
There are other photoshop clones around but none with the ambition and scale of this project.
