Im a beginner to this and I would like to become a web developer... I've managed to make it through the first track of web design to learn HTML and CSS as well as some of the design stuff for photoshop and illustrator. I'm currently working on the next track for front end development (on Javascript and Jquery right now) and it seems pretty complicated. When doing the easier challenges I can recall some of the information from the videos (sometimes I rewatch videos), however when it gets a little harder and there's lines and lines of text, anxiety kicks in and I start to "cheat" and refer to the api.jquery website. I'm trying to get into a web development bootcamp here in NYC after I learn the Ruby on Rails track. Anyone have any advice to how I can better myself in understanding this stuff..... I really want to be able to do this....

If you know the method you want, but can't recall the exact syntax when doing a code challenge, don't be worried about looking up syntax in on the api.jquery site.
