Glorpy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Hey guys. My name is Mike and I am 18 years old. I am going into a school that is strictly for Video game design and development, or video game design and animation (Programming, Art) and let me first start by saying that I love programming. I have a huge passion for it and really want to get better. Currently I am swamped for work and I keep getting demotivated for some reason even though I love doing it. I ###### at it, but I love doing it. The problem is, is when a teacher gives a lecture I pay attention 100%, but then right after when I go home I will forget everything he said and how he explained certain things. I guess my brain just has trouble processing new information. The language I am learning right now is Javascript and I have an 100% in the class, but the final assignment is coming up and I am not so confident. Then next term we start Unity and stuff. Does anybody have any suggestions for learning to program, or better yet, remembering everything? Is there maybe a site that gives you Javascript problems and you have to code them? Sorry if this is not supposed to be in the general discussion forum, but I did not know where I can post something like this. And once again I love programming and I really really want to improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Fall semester is ending now. If you have forgotten everything then you are probably in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorpy Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Fall semester is ending now. If you have forgotten everything then you are probably in trouble. If I may rephrase. It is not that I have forgotten everything, it is just I want to be able to remember right when its taught, and I was also wondering if there are any sites that can help you out, and sorry if I am sounding rude here, but I don't think you posting that helps at all, and I don't think it is needed.

Ingolme Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The only way to get better is to keep on practicing. Start with the basics and do it over and over until it sticks. Use online references to make sure that your syntax is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davej Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was going to suggest that after each class you should write some example code to prove to yourself that you understand the material. In such a manner you would slowly create a collection of tested example code. This becomes rather pointless advice if the semester has already nearly ended. You could perhaps try stepping through your textbook, or through the W3Schools Javascript tutorial and reference to see if there is anything in there that you don't understand... http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/default.asp http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp ...or other major online references... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x85xxsf4%28v=vs.100%29.aspx ...or simply think of a project idea and just start writing code.
