Study methods. What is the best way for you to retain information here at treehouse?

Currently I'm focusing on the Front End track, and I'm on the Java Script portion. Which I find the hardest to retain so far. I'm slowing getting through it but I find myself going back many times because I forget what I've learned.

What methods do you guys use to study and retain all of this content?

Thanks!

I found the JavaScript a bit hard to follow when I was learning but it wasn't until I began building my own projects that I really grasped an understanding of all the information.

I watched videos on YouTube and read JavaScript & jQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development those were some of the resources I used to learn more.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!

Yeah for me when I actually apply it i can grasp what it's about. But since I'm not currently using Java Script for any websites it's hard for me to apply what I'm learning in the real world.

Thanks for the link. I'll be sure to check them out,

Absolutely! I was in the same position as you are in now so I began making small projects with no real purpose other than to only focus on the JavaScript/jQuery. You can find those on my CodePen. Might help inspire you to create something.

Adding to this, with JS i´ve been using the Eloquent JavaScript book. It explains things really well: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
