Answer 2

Unless you have programming experience or took a computer science course previously and actually learned from it then it's not going to just be easy in any form. Programming is not a natural way of human thinking, so it can take time for the brain to adjust. Don't try to memorize everything, instead learn the concepts. Like, you don't need to know all of the possible data types, only the basics (String, int, etc) and the fact others exist (Generics, etc). And then learn to look up those other data types and read the documentation/examples so you can use them when necessary. Like cooking, it's better to know the basics (slice vs dice, Map vs Hash) that are transferable between recipes (projects, languages) rather than perfecting one thing (calculator app, spaghetti).
