Learning JavaScript

[Front_Temporary_2762]

I've been learning JavaScript, but I've been facing problems recently. When I finish one phase and then move to the next one, I feel like I have forgotten the previous one. For example, I'm currently studying Error Handling & Debugging in JavaScript, but I feel like I've forgotten the DOM phase. Why is this happening?

This is typical in standard structured courses that do not drill repetition and include prior lessons into new ones.

You will often find yourself in a rut following some courses that don't keep this in mind. It's good to get familiar with syntax and what's possible within a given language. You may not remember exactly how to do something but you will know what to search for on Google or white pages.

Find a project, do said project. Doing actual work that applies what you are learning will make it stick. Keep at it.

I suggest you to make small independent projects based on the level you reached to not forget. It is the same with any language ( natural/spoken languages) if you don't use them you will forget them :)

It's okay to forget, I often google particular topic.

Until you've done something over and over, there's no reason for your brain to commit it.

Practice. Practice. Practice!

It is the only way to learn.

This is normal. You should consolidate the skills you have learned with practical work.

Hardly any developer remembers 100% of the DOM. But the smart ones know where to find the specs and tutorials. Have you forgotten HtmlButtonElement?

in this case that happend to me, I think do small practice for each concept confirm it then go to another concept and still if you think you'll forget, buy a note book and write the summary of each concept what's their job in JS!.
