#Off-Code question, is my way of studying wrong/bad habit?

Hi!

I don't know where to post this question.

I just have this approach where everytime I learn something new or even I don't understand fully- I tend to go back to my VsCode and try to incorporate it into my mockup site and then use the current lesson to go back and forth like a cheat sheet.

I was just wondering if this will be harmful in the long run since I am really having a hard time to remember all those {}, [], ``, etc.

I think. you are doing the right thing.

Learning about something new and making sure it's in hour head is not easy. Doing certain exercises or implementing what you have learnt is crucial for your brain to consolidate that knowledge.

eg.: When I have learnt a lot of advanced patterns in JS I "knew" they exists but when it come to implement them for the first time it was sluggish and I had to review my notes and my materials.

Once I have implemented something 2-3 times, it now comes naturally, so imo you are doing the right thing

I like to learn by doing more then one lesson on html like if I learn it from udemy and it is ok I would go to another platform and learn html again and learn the material again but in my mine I should already know it. So I learning different ways on different platforms but the same html and it is better I just have issues with css.

Repetition is always good when learning. Also remember that a lot of the stuff is also easily found googling, learning how to implement what you googled is also part of the learning process. The most important thing is keep at it and you will succeed.

As usual, thank you. I've been at it always. Every new lesson, I try to implement it on my own and only use the lesson or google as a cheatsheet when I get into an impasse.

@hard hatch

Yeah, same approach. CSS is the only language that I don't have trouble playing around with. Yeah, I do get some wall every now and then but discord is always there tho.

@covert flare

Understood. Yeah, I try to repeat it into a mockup site multiple times. Like for the props and cards, I try to make different divs that have cards in them. Sometimes I doubt my googling skills, I can't seem to find the right words to search to get my answers. LOL.
