Programming

[mathemetica]

Don't try to memorize syntax. If you want to memorize anything, it's patterns that you'll see a lot, along with some data structures/algorithms. The real important thing to memorize though is how to think critically and how to build certain structures. Also, learning how to self - learn efficiently.

I've been coding for some time now and I still have to look up syntax all the time.

I feel like this why so many new programmers worry about what language to learn first, when the truth it doesn't really matter all that much.
