As Callum says re-watching the videos, following along and then having a play around is the way to go. You'll learn by doing. Also always check the 'Teachers Notes' section under the videos as there is often (but not always) extra information and recommended reading to go along with the videos.
And there are always people around on the forums that will be happy to answer any of your questions.
I hope you are having fun :-)

16,593 PointsWhen learning something new, taking notes will go a long way, for pacing yourself, as well as memorizing what you have learned. Each time you learn something new, take some time to play around with it and see what you can get it to do. You might end up breaking it, understand why it broke, or you might discover some new utility that a function offers.
