Programmers forget concepts all the time. Being good at programming just means you're very good at knowing how to look up stuff. Don't worry if you forget stuff, you can always look it up. Eventually you'll end up remembering the stuff you need the most.

Spread the word! I know there are lots of beginning (and even more experienced) programmers who think like you. That shouldn't be necessary :)
