HI,
So iv been doing Ruby basics such as Moduels and whatever is there . I was doing the track basicaly. SO i finished the Ruby Basics , the first video, and now im doing the 'CONSOLE' foundations.
DO i really need to go throw all this straight away? i cant ever remember too well the first two of it, kinda yes .
So my question is can i skip it maybe and do one per day and while im doing one section per day in console go throw building something in ruby on rails or whatever ?

It's not absolutely necessary, but you'll find being familiar with the console will help drastically as you can test bits of your code in the console. There are also a lot of rails console helpers which are easy enough to use, like rails generate, bundle, rails console and rails server and a few rake db commands, not to mention anything with git you might want to use.
I'd strongly recommend following the order.

2,435 PointsIm following the order its just i wont remember it all im pretty sure : p . Or at least im thinking spending 6hours per day watching the videos : p and doint it along my side. As well as maybe try somthing, but its thats ok? we can say basically to get my self familiar with the console and just go back and get familiar with everything and then go back and back and back till i get it like html?

28,149 PointsYou won't remember it all, unless you legitimately have a super ability to remember. There is way too much to know. Learn how to use documentation, not remember everything. I don't remember everything, but I remember where I can likely find what I can't remember. Than I'm real good reading documentation.
Otherwise, if you're feeling burnt out, sure try something different and come back. There is no rule that says you couldn't, it's just the tracks make logical sense in the order to progress. I bounce around a lot, depending on how I'm feeling.
