I did the free trial for the full stack JavaScript techdegree. I went through the requirements of the first project the random quote generator and I don't know where to start. I have gone through the course material and I cant understand how to complete this project. I have checked other resources of how to make a random quote generator and the code is a lot different than the code for treehouse. I checked the random quote generator on free code camp and it seems like it takes a lot less code. I also looked at completed projects on github and don't know where to start.

8,993 PointsI have gone through the regular tutorials for JavaScript from treehouse. I can do the programming tasks for the tutorial. I'm not a novice to programming. I just can't understand the code that is required for the random quote generator. I understand the concepts but can't figure out how to use them to code this project.

Brendan Whiting's advice is spot-on. The Slack Team for the Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree is a great place to turn to for ideas. In addition, we have study guides specifically for this project within the Techdegree that provide a lot of guidance for breaking down this programming project.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsAre you still part of the Techdegree? If so I suggest reaching out on the Slack channel. There are many ways to build a random quote generator, some simple some complex. It’s been a few years since I worked on this project, but if I remember right the goal is more for you to get experience with certain parts of web development, rather than the goal being just to build s random quote generator.
