Courses Plus Student 1,284 PointsBasic understanding of the basics.
So I'm having a hard time in Java Beginners Track and other tracks peicing together beginner basic foundation concepts that I can build on to enhance my knowledge and application basis to become a better developer. I feel like I can easily understand each concept as it's presented and explained, however combining those concepts together to form a strong basic foundation to the track I'm learning is where I am having a hard time. its like laying concreted for a home's foundation, but instead of it being one peice of smooth concrete its a tectonic spereated conceptual mess and I dont know what peices go where to bring it all together. My question is what can I do or how can I utilize Treehouse better to help me peice together these concepts to better myself?

I sometimes also feel like I understand everything when I am watching a video, but when I start typing a code, I always forget a small detail and it crashes the whole program and I have no idea what I am doing, but watching videos again and again, makes it much easier to understand. Don't give up, just watch the video, try to code, watch again and do everything the tutor is doing and you will see the process and will start to understand every little piece. At least that's my experience when I was trying to learn Vue (still learning, but started to understand more and more when started typing a code myself) and when I was watching videos, it looked like it is quite simple to understand, but when I started typing something by myself, without a video, it was quite hard.
