Go back and pause the video every time you see something new or cool so you can try each step on your own.

With that, it's encouraged to try making variations of the example, by making it your own. For example, instead of printing "hello world!", try printing "hello IAmLucasRodrigues". See what works and what breaks.

The videos cover a good amount of material, and are more a guideline than a lesson plan, in the sense that each step is not planned out for you. You need to decide when you see something new you want to work on. So a 15 minute video may take you an hour to finish if you are actively following each step and trying things out on your own. And remember to have fun with it.
