Can I get some advice please?.....

I just started the Android development track. With no programming skills, I figured it would be best to start of with the "Console Foundations". I just finished this course, took a lot of notes, but still do not fully understand all of the commands.. Should i go back over and drill these foundations until I know them like the back of my hand?..Any feed back would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Well, the thing about those console commands is that, if you keep trying to memorize them, you'll probably forget them pretty quickly. The true understanding and mastery of those commands comes from using them on Mac/Linux terminal on a daily basics. It's not a bad idea to watch those lectures again, but frankly, there's only so much you can learn by watching lectures, and the Console course covers lots of materials, many of them probably don't make much sense unless you put them in use. So maybe you should keep your note or a cheatsheet on your desk, and start playing around the Terminal. Cheers.
