Introducing...
The Great Sync JavaScript Mental Model
Does this sound familiar?
Your journey into web development was exciting... until you realized you STILL can't write JavaScript. 😒
- I have no idea what I'm doing...
- I still blindly copy-paste...
- I can‘t build anything without a tutorial...
- I lie to myself when I say I'm coding. AI does it all...
If you have thoughts like these, you're not alone - especially if your background is NOT in computer science and you're learning on your own.
Now, just for a minute, step into the mind of a senior web developer...
Imagine what it would feel like to be a master of your craft.
You sit down to work on a web application.
👉 You don't open chatGPT. You might later, of course. But only to make you faster.
👉 You don't look for step-by-step instructions from youtube. You might later, of course, but it's an aid, not a lifeline.
👉 You're 100% certain you can figure it out. Your fundamentals are rock solid. You're confident you can build anything.
In your mind, you can picture a model of JavaScript - your very own knowledge tree 🌳 of everything you've learned. It helps you connect the dots, recognize patterns and see the big picture.
Of course, a senior developer doesn't consciously imagine anything. They don't need a way of visualizing or recalling their knowledge, because it's firmly part of their mental model.
But guaranteed, it wasn't always that way. It certainly wasn't for me...
It can take a reeeealllly long time to build that mental model. There is always SO much to learn, SO much to remember and apply - leaving you feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
The Great Sync helps you consolidate and build ontop of what you already know.
It's an imagined construct of your JavaScript knowledge, which can branch out and continue to grow in any direction, giving you that foundation which one day turns you into a senior developer.
Hi, I'm Kylo!
I am a senior JavaScript developer and coach. That said, I am not a guru. I have not worked for Google.
I'm someone who once career-transitioned and needed a way to 'level up' in JavaScript. I focussed on the fundamentals, learnt the patterns, and applied them to projects.
I have helped hundreds of students do the same.
If you're trying to break through and gain confidence with JavaScript, I can help you!
Sometimes all that is needed is a change in perspective, and everything starts to make sense...
Welcome to The Great Sync
The Great Sync is a memory palace of fundamentals
Every concept is represented visually & imaginativaly, helping you UNDERSTAND and APPLY JavaScript using mnemonic learning.
It's not an analogy. It's a model.
Here is why this learning method is agame changer.

It's not an analogy. It's a model.
Here is why this learning method is agame changer.
It helps you REMEMBER what you learn
By using memory techniques and mnemonic approaches, the models become a tree of knowledge you can recall when needed.
It helps you APPLY your knowledge
A visual model of how JavaScript works enables you to start identifying patterns - the building blocks needed for coding without the aid of a tutorial.
It gives you CONFIDENCE
Nothing in JavaScript will scare you anymore. Every complex pattern, library or framework depends on the same core principles.
It's a FOUNDATION you can build upon
It becomes much easier to learn something new when you can compare it to what you already know.
