Now let's talk about the idea of space repetition.
There's a lot of research that's gone into how humans learn and one of the most well tested techniques is space repetition.
It's the idea that if you learn something just once, you're probably goint to forget it.
But if you learn something and then you come back to it in a week to review it and then a month to review it and a year to review it then that knowledge is yours.You own it.
So it's the same with programming.
If you have learned a new concept,let's say if else statements and you never use it again. You have just heard how it works, you have seen what it does and then you never actually use it?
You are not going to remember it. You are not going to remember how to use it the next time you come across it.
You are not going to remember to use it when you actually nedd to in a program of your own.
But you can also do it yourself like if you keep a list of the things that you have done and at regular intervals increasing intervals, say a day, a week, a month, you just come back to those concepts just review it once more.
You will be able to keep that knowledge in your long term memory and turn it into a skill rather than kind of like you know when you cram for exams and you just learn everything once and then like a week down the line, you forgotten everything.
Review the crux of the topics that you learn on regular basis. Try to use if in some sort of format, do it by yourself.
So have a go at doing that.
