All this coding seems scaring to me. Pls does one have to memorize everything by heart? Or how does it work? I need an answer.

Answer 1

In a way at first it feels like a lot of memorization. But its more like muscle memory mixed with staying up to date after a while. Typing things out and making code that does different tasks helps me the most when it comes to remembering syntax and the overall concepts. Sticking to it is also a big thing. I stopped writing code for a few years and not only did I forget most of everything I learned but a lot has changed with the languages I worked with. It's def not like riding a bike lol.

Long story short best thing for me is;
Repetitively coding in general,
Using different learning sources,
Keep learning new, different, more efficient ways to do tasks,
Staying up to date,
*Sticking to it.

These things seem to work for me hopefully you can get something from this =D

Answer 2

Yeah, it's a lot to take in just starting off. Try to take the courses slowly (and one at a time), and play with the new things you learn. As you keep using it, it'll start to stick.
And don't worry if you don't remember absolutely everything all the time. Even experts forget some syntax or logic and have to look things up! So long as you don't depend on that, of course.

Answer 3

not at first. no. well you will probably never know everything by heart. it is like learning a spoken language. at first you can only say one or two words. eventually you are fluent and talking to all the locals. keep practising. you will speak with the best of them. good luck!

Answer 4

Yeah: don't be scared to dive into practice without memorizing a lot by heart: just keep in mind a general ( but serious ) learn and go consult references, tutos and so on along your practice. With time, almost everything ( at least those you commonly use ) will be burn in your memory ;)

Answer 5

yes, they are right, it's like you are learning something like your own language, when you learn and learn, then you started to memorize some of them....Then later....you will automatically write the code....already
