Java

I have just finished java object orientated programming but still dont feel like I understand all the concepts fully.

Should I go over it again or move on to the next track?

I think I might do this: Go back to the code challenges and start doing them one by one. And when you get to one that you don't fully understand why/how the answer you give is correct (or why you can't get the correct answer), then back up to the videos between those two points and start watching again. But this time, instead of writing the code see if you can sit and take notes and try to wrap your head around the point they are trying to make.

That being said, I can also highly recommend this book: "Design Patterns Explained: A New Perspective on Object Oriented Design, 2nd Edition" by Alan Shalloway. It's not only a brilliant introduction to design patterns, but the authors also contend that students who learn them parallel to OOP also learn OOP more quickly. It might be worth a read :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
