Not sure if it is just me that feels this way but I feel like I am just typing what Andrew types, with out much explanation. Can't wait to move forth.

19,350 PointsWhen I'm learning here, I try to understand every line. I stop the video and review the parts. When I don't understand a line, I use google to help me understanding that. I've found out, that for me it is better to hear parts of the videos about the code multiple times. So that I can hear the same explanation again and again.
The best progress is, when I try to write the same code myself, without any help of a video. I use the documentation of the language alot. I try to make the same code by myself, step by step.

That goes very well together, and you will have a lot of moments when your read "Ah thats why he did it like that".

Make sure you have a full understanding of what something is and exactly how it works so in the future you can use it but but you can always reference the doc's when it comes to the exact syntax of something.
So for me some things just make sense straight away and I breeze through it, other times it take a few times to get it to sink in.
