Do you think slow typing will help in remembering the syntax

Question

By slow typing we would have have to think of next letter after every letter of a word.So it will help us remembering the syntax.Fast typing will cause the keywords to come just for a sec

Answer 1

Feel free to experiment with anything that helps you learn.

I don't think typing slowly would help much based on my experience, though. The main drawback is that you'll be spending more time without knowing if you're making a mistake. Learning from a mistake is going to happen faster and be remembered longer by recognizing something is wrong quickly.

Rapid feedback can speed up the learning process, though. You can get good feedback from a well functioning syntax highlighter that marks things that won't work such as undefined variables, undefined methods or functions...

You could also compile frequently to get rapid feedback on your code if your code can be compiled. Java and c++ can be compiled easily. JavaScript has some minifying tools that can find some coding issues automatically without running it too.

Automated tests can give you feedback on your code changes fairly quickly too. It is just more work to maintain the test code than simply running a compiler or code analysis tool.
