Retention

Question for you guys. I am currently going through the front-end curriculum and specifically halfway through "How To Build A Website". It all makes sense, but there is ALOT to retain. As I look over my index.html page, there is some code that I can't remember why it is there, nor have I memorized all of the rules for what goes where, etc. In your opinion, when I am done with this portion and still don't have a 100% grasp on HTML and CSS, should I go through it again, or does the course continue to build on and re-emphasize the topics learned?

I wouldn't worry too much about memorizing everything. Understanding concepts, practicing what you know, and frequently consulting reference sites is a recipe for success. ^_^

If I could only pick one reference site it would be the Mozilla Developer Network. If I could pick more then CSS Tricks and Can I Use are awesome too.
