Question

Is it cheating if I take notes on everything I learned on sololearn and use the notes on coding to make things when I'm an adult

I used google docs to take notes on everything I learned in coding (ex: almost all HTML elements). I took notes on everything I learned in coding. I'm doing this on Codecademy, Sololearn, and other websites that you can learn coding. Below are the questions I want to be answered:

I'm taking notes on everything I learned in coding on google docs. I'm doing this on Codecademy, Sololearn, and other websites that you can learn coding. Is this cheating?

Since I took the notes on google docs, will this affect my dream to be a coder? What I mean is if I'm taking notes on coding on Codecademy and Sololearn and other websites that you can learn coding, and when I grow up and make a big project using code and share the big project with the world and make money with the big project, will people find out about the notes I took about coding and share news stories about the notes I took about coding and share the news stories with the world? Because of the news stories, I'm afraid that I am gonna be hated by the entire world.

Answer 1

Taking notes without practice isn't going to get you anywhere. So instead of cheating (which it clearly isn't), I'd say it's wasted effort.

By practicing those notes real-time instead of jotting them down, those notes go to your head and you won't ever need to take notes for the rest of your life.

Dave The Defender, when you had a lesson in school, what was you advised to do? It was to take notes. The same was when revising for an exam, you look over those notes. Why? To effectively learn the subject and become proficient at it.

Without taking notes and practicing what we've learnt, we'll never develop as a programmer.

Every programmer learns from others and their own 'notes', and example code. You will never be ridiculed for doing this.

Answer 3

You can note, you can refer to your notes as researching in refererences ( books, network... ) without "cheating": this s not a game, not a school, there are no rules ^^ I unadvice even to try to all remember, even to all learn: do by yourself, code, and go searching things that you don't remember, go learning those you doen't still know... with time, you will be able to get more and more things in your head, as you surely will remember what you use the more ;)

Hello,

You can take notes in the beginning, but they will take you nowhere in the long run if you don t practice. Just take whatever you learn and use it to make random programs. They don t have to be anything big. Just something to put everything you've learned into practice.Programmers/coders say: "You know what to do by reading it. You can only learn it by doing it." So just practice and soon there will be no need for notes.

Good luck! :)

Answer 5

☺☺☺. You can't create big project from notes. You'll simply get rejected interview if you'll tell that you keep notes instead practice

Answer 6

No, that is called studying!

Answer 7

Isn't that what we do in school ? you can take notes and its not considered cheating; some schools make you take notes because when you write something you memorize it faster; i think that its ok to take notes and I've done so in school and teachers are actually happy when they see that ; people that don't take notes usually don't remember much;

I hope this was helpful to you

Answer 8

Hmm not cheating to me. Note is the solution if you not remember the code. But dont copy paste the coding with your big project.

Answer 9

No, programming is such a big topic, it's almost impossible to remember everything. Even I have a documentation for difficult codes
