Any practice out there that helped you memorize everything you currently know?

Question

I completed HTML 5 and about to finish CSS. Getting ready to learn Javascript but feel as there's a need to memorize everything. I know as humans it becomes more easy with application. Is there a point you felt seeking other resources to apply what you need in the moment more beneficial than overloading yourself with constant information? Fairly new at web development and any feedback is appreciated.

Answer 1

The old saying is “don’t bite off more than you can chew”. Basically, if studying something new is getting in the way of learning something you recently studied, you need to spend more time on what was recently studied to get more used to it before going on to something new. You don’t need to know all of one language before you can move on to another, but you should at least have the basics.

I would say, if you can make a simple web page with html and css without having to look up the code, it’s safe to move on to javascript.

Pro tip: You actually don't have to rember every HTML tag or CSS attribute, just the basic rules concepts. Nobody is going to ask you what's the CSS attribute for padding text. If you're programming, you can always have a reference handy.

All you need to do is go trough them so you know what exists and what doesn't, so you know what can be done, and how, and where to look. Then, start coding actual websites.

Speaking from my own experience the most fail-safe practice to memorize is scheduled repetition.
