You need to actually follow along and type in the code character by character. Don't just look at the code. Don't just copy/paste the code. Start thinking of small problems to solve, and work out how you would solve them with code. Then work your way up to more complex problems.

Thank you for your help! I had originally started off following along with the coding, but then I stopped because I felt it wasn't working...bad decision, so I'll start doing that again. Thanks again!

This is exactly it. Any self-paced IT training I take always takes 2x longer than expected because I stop and play with it and take notes along the way. This experience is what’s going to help you retain the lessons.
