How To Remember Everything When Learning How To Code

Hi friends!
Today I am sharing with you how to remember everything when learning how to code. And let me be clear, it isnt about memorizing everything but developing skills that help things stick long term when you are learning something new!

1. Focus on understanding concepts and ideas 2. Apply what you are learning 3. Look at others people's code 4. Take notes 5. Practice!!!

I think the most important is aplying Active Recall to Programming. After doing a Tutorial or a online Course, go and make a project about what you just learned. Even if it is small, It will make it stick. And the more you practice Active Recall it will make it better.

Thank you!!😊😊

[@Hamyhamster24]

so I learned HTML/Java from the age of 14-19 and took a 10 years hiatus and am now back into learning it all over again. Brings back so many good memories. But from my past experience how I remembered learning it, was just copy and paste codes I've taken from other websites and change it up so it cater to my design. I'm a hands on learner so real life practical experience is much quicker for me to learn rather than just reading up on tutorial, theory and taking bunch of notes. But not everyone learns the same way. Wish everyone best of luck!

[@TiffInTech]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing 💕😊

Totally agree. I was a truck driver two years ago. I just got hired as a React Developer. I love it. It's my passion. She is right about all of this. Even though not super in-depth, find your way, and you will make it. Don't get rusty; code once a day something.

[@zanehewgley4669]

I am currently a driver and starting to learn. The long hours of driving makes it hard to sometimes, but I am persistent. I will get there one day.

[@deonrich3149]

You nailed it! When i started out coding, i made the mistake of taking too many notes. They did help some but the problem was that i was focusing too much on memorizing certain things instead of UNDERSTANDING them. You'll be a much better coder if you focus on understanding rather than memorization. Memorization will come naturally as you advance. And there's nothing wrong with googling or stackoverflowing things every now and then, lol. Great vid!

[@TiffInTech]

Thank you!! And thanks for your input! So true!!

[@SuperBlackBeto]

So, do you recommend to take notes or not?

[@deonrich3149]

@@SuperBlackBeto Personally, i would'nt recommend to, you'll build memory and learn alot quicker actualy writing code. For me at least, i see now that it was a waste of time.

[@SuperBlackBeto]

@@deonrich3149 that's what I think, I take notes but Idk if it's working at all, I will try to focus more on how the things works! Also how could I practice if I use a course? After the entire course, o just after modules (or sections)?

[@deonrich3149]

@@SuperBlackBeto First, any good course will include assignments that you have to complete and get a grade on before you can go to the next secction, which is a very good practice. Pirple.com is a good example, and its where i learned Node.js (highly recommend it). I took the Node.js master class, completed each assignment while making sure i understood exactly what i was doing, then after the course i made a couple of backend projects on my own to get more of a feel for it.

I really recognize myself in what you mention about feeling that you need to learn fast, hence skipping, or missing out on some of the deeper insights from the start. Feel like I rushed through too much during my education - a truth that has hit me hard more than once since I landed my first job. You find yourself going back to basics quite often to revisit the stuff you went by so fast you didn’t even had time to wave goodbye to it. So grateful for helpful and understanding senior coworkers!

[@SkamanSamTyler]

As a professional developer who loves picking up new languages (aka polyglot), this is great advice. This is very close to how I learn new languages. Thank you!

[@scottguitar8168]

I do find understanding concepts far more beneficial than remembering. I have worked in many technical fields and having a vague knowledge of what is available to you and the understanding of concepts that will help you create or fix the problem is great, but my most powerful tool is knowing the right questions to ask to quickly arrive at possible solutions. Things you rarely use will become vague memories, while things you frequently use get burned into long term memory. While you never run out of unknowns to ask questions about, you do build a foundation where you don't always have to ask questions. Also teaching someone else things you know seems to be good for increasing your own understanding.

[@kawtharismail1736]

I'm doing all types of code here in the UK and we do computer science in secondary school {high school} and you've been great helping me out thanks. I got my mates to stop playing the footie and pursue interesting job careers by coding. Thanks lass!

I think the word you were looking for is "internalize". :) At least for me, that's how I feel about it. It's not necessarily that I feel I memorized something - rather, I integrated them into the things I felt I understood and could explain back if asked.

It's been 13 years since I graduated from University's Computer Engineer department and has been 7-8 years leaving the job. I decided to come back and find your videos very motivating and informative. It's very rare to find a teacher who is both smart,hard working and beautiful in face and in soul. I think I should also be aware for not getting into trap of watching your videos all the time and return back to work besides of bing watching tutorial videos because i spend so much time on it :) I hope this channel becomes the best youtube software channel.

[@j.r.5803]

About the no programmer having everything on their head thing, some do especially who has photography memory. Just wanted to point that out. Also for those that have troubles remembering stuff, make sure to repeat things as so let say u do a project after a while do it again from scratch. Many programmers go back to them old projects and end asking to themselves if they got worst at coding or something because they feel they couldn't do such of a work at the present moment, once they are repeating the project they end reminding the stuff that they did kinda forgotten by looking back to them first attempts once they get stuck on such scratch repetitions, but at the end of such repetition they improve them code because they add the new stuff learned making the repeated project indeed a step over themselves oldest project version. Most of what we forget are stuff that we memorized rather than rationalized. Yeah that’s my take on it, also throw time more you learn seem that your memory kinda improves but I might be wrong because can be due to the more wise you get more easier you can fill the gaps, I don't know.

[@TheJacklwilliams]

Glad the algo shot me this vid Tiff. Great topic and your approach to it was spot on! I've 25 + years in the business, stepped away for an extended hiatus and returning I'm going down a completely different road so of course I've got my face in multiple topics and I'm taking tons of classes, writing tons of code! As we speak while watching this, I kicked off three diff http servers on sep ports obviously and I'm working through simple Python methods for coding a basic web server. Re Open Source, you aren't kidding. Love it. Most people get hooked on the "free" thing and yeah I get it, but coming from trad corp and years of the big software houses, closed systems, the biggest kick I get out of OS is you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you like. It's all there for you to explore and create and? The Open Source community, worldwide is just full of amazing people. Everyone (ok almost everyone ;-) goes out of their way to share, contribute and grow technology to an incredible degree. Anyway, SUBSCRIBED! Keep them coming!

[@InvestLarge]

I had read about how to better memorize was using a technique that suggested that as you read, connect what you read to things you already have stored in your long-term memory. Also to go back and read it over again before material fades from short-term memory completely. Probably not useful for syntax but the how's and why's.

[@lorensims4846]

Wonderful tips! I particularly would like to echo that one about taking notes. It has always worked well for me. Also don't try to learn fast, try to learn 'deep.' Work to really understand what you are learning. Try to take it apart and put it together different ways to see what works and why it works. You don't have to 'remember' everything, but do know where and how to look the details up quickly. If you understand the concepts, the details can easily be researched.

My background before I tried to learn web design at all was hobby working on arduino in C style coding. I had a failed attempt at going back to school after dropping out in high school and getting into college in electronics, just financially had to go back to work and put it all back on the hobby level. I got the fundamentals of control systems and It stuff out of it so the logical side of things is super fun and as I'm learning web design with friends, I might be too slow to pick up the language we're working on but can always help brainstorm the logic side that I learn a bit of coding while can help them get past some of the plateaus.. It is just like learning a new spoken language, you need the lived experience of practice in the right environment. I got the basic html/css down ok where the fails help learn can make it through and figure out what I want to do but beyond that it's damn intimidating to learn the syntax of more complex languages. I bumped into your videos and really appreciate the team vibes growing forward on different levels. I guess it comes down to finding those "coat hangers" if you will that remind you where it fts. You might fallow an example and get to take a nice coat off the rack, wear it a bit.. but you really have to focus on remembering the coat hanger. Then try learn to put a new coat on it. Eventually we can start finding out when to pull the right coat out & how they all fit together organized. it's wild a bit but I always found that a nice lesson my math teacher shared with me in adult-ed to keep a little more oriented on what you've actually learned.

[@bleu-greensmountain5861]

Actually, I saw in one video you talked about fashion industry so really the coat hanger metaphor.. the organizing part is probably more important eventually to think about organizing how to pull out the full outfit not just coats haha bless!

Its super easy I think to break the tutorials cycle is to take what they have and just kind of extend it, like when I finally taught myself how to do post requests using AJAX (all I need now to do is for a CRUD example is to do the update one) just use what examples were on the Internet. Now I am going through some old work, just in vanilla JavaScript adding sort of instant responses as to what AJAX is there for. It's really simple!
