Struggling to retain programming fundamentals — what study methods work for you?
Hi everyone, I'm learning web development on my own. I did a bit of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript three years ago, then stepped away because of high school. Now I'm in university (not a CS/BSc program) and getting back on track learning programming through online courses (currently taking the JavaScript Essentials Training course on LinkedIn).
**My question is**: what methods or techniques do you use when studying technical concepts like the DOM and prototypal inheritance in JavaScript?
The reason I'm asking is that I'm struggling a bit with retaining the foundational concepts themselves. I don't want to memorize code — I want to actually retain the fundamentals.
Also, if possible, could you recommend sources and material that you think would be beneficial alongside online courses? I'm relying on MDN's docs at the moment. #programming #technology #dev source
