#HowToRememberEverything #TiffIntech
1. Focus on understanding concepts and ideas
2. Apply what you are learning
3. Look at others people's code
4. Take notes
5. Practice!!!
Thank u for saving 10 mins of my life
You cant learn to play piano without practice...
You’re save my 9:40
Dear God, thanks...
She is cute, and everything, but I just couldn't listen how she mumbling.
@@freaky6984 but she is so cute, and speaks well, so not a waste at all haha
I think the most important is aplying Active Recall to Programming. After doing a Tutorial or a online Course, go and make a project about what you just learned. Even if it is small, It will make it stick. And the more you practice Active Recall it will make it better.

Makes so much sense when you put it that way! Thx
Thank you!!😊😊
Hi friends! I had to reupload this as the video as being strange!! Hope you can enjoy it :)
Hahaha I though this were the bad version until I realized my settings were at 144p.
I have been feeling this so much, and it's just pulling my confidence very down 🥲

@@june2720 you got this!!
Totally agree. I was a truck driver two years ago. I just got hired as a React Developer. I love it. It's my passion. She is right about all of this. Even though not super in-depth, find your way, and you will make it. Don't get rusty; code once a day something.
I am currently a driver and starting to learn. The long hours of driving makes it hard to sometimes, but I am persistent. I will get there one day.
so I learned HTML/Java from the age of 14-19 and took a 10 years hiatus and am now back into learning it all over again. Brings back so many good memories. But from my past experience how I remembered learning it, was just copy and paste codes I've taken from other websites and change it up so it cater to my design. I'm a hands on learner so real life practical experience is much quicker for me to learn rather than just reading up on tutorial, theory and taking bunch of notes. But not everyone learns the same way. Wish everyone best of luck!
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing 💕😊
im 14 but i just started getting into coding and i literally cant make my own script and most of the codes i get are copied from videos, idk is it normal to feel like you cant even make your own , but at the end of the day ive only started for the past 2 weeks and i started with python
@@crustycrabburgers8608 from what I remembered, I never made my own. I just copied and pasted and added a little twist. Overtime as I understood the language, only then I started doing other things.
I really recognize myself in what you mention about feeling that you need to learn fast, hence skipping, or missing out on some of the deeper insights from the start. Feel like I rushed through too much during my education - a truth that has hit me hard more than once since I landed my first job. You find yourself going back to basics quite often to revisit the stuff you went by so fast you didn’t even had time to wave goodbye to it.
So grateful for helpful and understanding senior coworkers!
You nailed it! When i started out coding, i made the mistake of taking too many notes. They did help some but the problem was that i was focusing too much on memorizing certain things instead of UNDERSTANDING them. You'll be a much better coder if you focus on understanding rather than memorization. Memorization will come naturally as you advance. And there's nothing wrong with googling or stackoverflowing things every now and then, lol. Great vid!
Thank you!! And thanks for your input! So true!!
So, do you recommend to take notes or not?
@@SuperBlackBeto Personally, i would'nt recommend to, you'll build memory and learn alot quicker actualy writing code. For me at least, i see now that it was a waste of time.
@@deonrich3149 that's what I think, I take notes but Idk if it's working at all, I will try to focus more on how the things works! Also how could I practice if I use a course? After the entire course, o just after modules (or sections)?
@@SuperBlackBeto First, any good course will include assignments that you have to complete and get a grade on before you can go to the next secction, which is a very good practice. Pirple.com is a good example, and its where i learned Node.js (highly recommend it). I took the Node.js master class, completed each assignment while making sure i understood exactly what i was doing, then after the course i made a couple of backend projects on my own to get more of a feel for it.
im only 15 years old and you keep me motivated to keep on coding
Yay!!! You got this!
Don't stop it will all pay off at the end keep learning, keep development yourself, you got it !
Hey same dude! I'm 14
@@TiffInTech hey Tiff sent ya a message on IG. Had a question about an error in npm package for a crypto system I am working on
yoo bro dm me on instagram, my @ is goncalo.o_
I'm doing all types of code here in the UK and we do computer science in secondary school {high school} and you've been great helping me out thanks. I got my mates to stop playing the footie and pursue interesting job careers by coding. Thanks lass!
God bless you young lady, I´m am not a programmer either so I really appreciate the advice and guidance of someone like you who learned at his/her own pace
I wish you and your family the best.
Have a nice day.
Thank you! this is what I needed, I love your channel!
I do find understanding concepts far more beneficial than remembering. I have worked in many technical fields and having a vague knowledge of what is available to you and the understanding of concepts that will help you create or fix the problem is great, but my most powerful tool is knowing the right questions to ask to quickly arrive at possible solutions. Things you rarely use will become vague memories, while things you frequently use get burned into long term memory. While you never run out of unknowns to ask questions about, you do build a foundation where you don't always have to ask questions. Also teaching someone else things you know seems to be good for increasing your own understanding.
Omg, this was very helpful. I have been struggling with this for a long time.
Hi Tiff, Thanks for your doing these videos and your experiences in learning to code. I look forward to learning more through your experiences in your own learning journey.
this is the best video I have seen this week!!!
As a professional developer who loves picking up new languages (aka polyglot), this is great advice. This is very close to how I learn new languages. Thank you!
thank u so much for these tips and advice, I was feeling really bad because I'm learning and I do take notes but I never go and look back on them but it's true that help me in order to concentrate, also I like your videos cause I speak Spanish and watching your videos help in both areas, in my English learning process practicing my skills in the language and learning more about tech in general. 💚
Wow I really needed to hear this video. 😊thank you
Glad the algo shot me this vid Tiff. Great topic and your approach to it was spot on! I've 25 + years in the business, stepped away for an extended hiatus and returning I'm going down a completely different road so of course I've got my face in multiple topics and I'm taking tons of classes, writing tons of code! As we speak while watching this, I kicked off three diff http servers on sep ports obviously and I'm working through simple Python methods for coding a basic web server. Re Open Source, you aren't kidding. Love it. Most people get hooked on the "free" thing and yeah I get it, but coming from trad corp and years of the big software houses, closed systems, the biggest kick I get out of OS is you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you like. It's all there for you to explore and create and? The Open Source community, worldwide is just full of amazing people. Everyone (ok almost everyone ;-) goes out of their way to share, contribute and grow technology to an incredible degree. Anyway, SUBSCRIBED! Keep them coming!
It's been 13 years since I graduated from University's Computer Engineer department and has been 7-8 years leaving the job. I decided to come back and find your videos very motivating and informative. It's very rare to find a teacher who is both smart,hard working and beautiful in face and in soul. I think I should also be aware for not getting into trap of watching your videos all the time and return back to work besides of bing watching tutorial videos because i spend so much time on it :) I hope this channel becomes the best youtube software channel. Cheers from Turkey
I am new to your channel and i really loved it so much ♥️ , I've been searching for a good female programmer to follow to inspire me as a beginner to that field and i feel like i kinda figured the right one out 👌🏻
This is really legit … I am doing a bootcamp right now feeling lost, I really can relate with you videos thats motivating me a ton. Thanks for the good work.. !!!!!!!!
Thank you! These were such helpful, practical advice!
Tip 6: watch Tiff In Tech videos to stay motivated 💪
haha thank you!! Hope you have a great day!
I think the word you were looking for is "internalize". :) At least for me, that's how I feel about it. It's not necessarily that I feel I memorized something - rather, I integrated them into the things I felt I understood and could explain back if asked.
I was stuck and your video literally answered every doubt that I ever had ....felt as if you are answering my personal questions
Thank you so much dear...much love and support to you ❣
Thank you so much! I have been studying to become a Software Developer (I'm a veterinarian XD), and I'm always thinking like: ok, I'm not prepared for a job interview! I loved your video
You're my inspiration 💛 thanks
This is the confirmation and reassurance I needed😁
3:00 - 3:45
Likewise. Finishing Coding Dojo was my top priority. Didn't really want to take any days off. Focused on assignments that were essential for exams. I had some ideas for different projects I had trouble building it to perfection.
👏👏👏
Thank you so much for the info, it is really amazing to see a woman like you in the tech field
Thank you!
Thank you for the intel
I just came across your channel and you are such a breath of fresh air. I’m new to coding, recently completed a prep course and will be applying for the fellowship program. I am having a hard time remembering and this was perfect! Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.
Thank you!! 😊 ❤️
How's your progress.
As a 57 year old starting to learn code (python), your videos are very helpful. Thank you!
I really appreciate your insight and honesty. This video definitely put things into perspective for me and took away some insecurities of mine as well. Thank you!
Thank you! You got this!!
That was helpful, thank you. I think learning how to code is a new form of literacy.
Thanks for the great tips! You definitely keep me motivated. 👍
Thank you! You got this 😊💕
Great advice, thx💐☺️
Taking notes is definitely helped me. You might not need to look back at the notes but if you do need to you have them right in front of you. Super helpful. Practice practice practice.
Right!? Exactly!!
Great Video!!! Thank you so much for these tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Notes and Practice = Gold!
Thank you 😍!!
Agreed! Thank you!
very very very helpful video , thanks tiff you are awesome !
Thank you!💕
Thanks a lot for these tips! Im 3 months in and i have a 3k lines js file with all the examples of the methods i used and the little tricks that will hopefully help me when building components and although i made progress, it almost feel like day one ahah web dev field just boomed out of control with the basic knowledge required just to be a junior dev :D
Excellent channel! Too much light :))) you're looking like an Angel
it was really helpful for me tnx from Iran 🌹
Looks like you have read my mind. Thanks for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was awesome. Thank you.
Thanks a lot. Understanding the concept and the idea. I shared your video.
Thank you ☺️💕
Thank you for this, Tiff!
😊😊😊
Thank you for your advice! Great video! What are tips for someone starting out in their first role as a junior developer?
This is the best advice I got in my 5 years of programming. I also wanted to add another point which is to not be in a hurry while you are learning, enjoy the learning process as well and not just focus on the what you will get at the end (from Bhagwad Gita).
I love your enthusiasm! And I really like your setup :) You definitely have a taste! I am from Bulgaria and I am a developer from almost 5 years now. For some concentration good music and chess. Chess is somehow like the programming you have to see the bigger picture. Really nice that I found your channel by looking for YubiKey :)
About the no programmer having everything on their head thing, some do especially who has photography memory. Just wanted to point that out.
Also for those that have troubles remembering stuff, make sure to repeat things as so let say u do a project after a while do it again from scratch. Many programmers go back to them old projects and end asking to themselves if they got worst at coding or something because they feel they couldn't do such of a work at the present moment, once they are repeating the project they end reminding the stuff that they did kinda forgotten by looking back to them first attempts once they get stuck on such scratch repetitions, but at the end of such repetition they improve them code because they add the new stuff learned making the repeated project indeed a step over themselves oldest project version. Most of what we forget are stuff that we memorized rather than rationalized. Yeah that’s my take on it, also throw time more you learn seem that your memory kinda improves but I might be wrong because can be due to the more wise you get more easier you can fill the gaps, I don't know.
Really informative, thank you so much. I start to follow your strategy. 👍👍👍❤️
Glad to hear that
Oh yeah this has officially become my favorite channel, God bless you queen I'll be coding with you one day I'm speaking into exsistence
Thank you!
I just subscribed because I love to see women doing more of coding stuff.Keep doing this..💕💕💕
Thank you for your useful tips!!!
Glad it was helpful!
The advice was so on point. Thank you : )
Thank you!😊💕
Thank you for the tips. Great help!! :)
Forsure!
I had read about how to better memorize was using a technique that suggested that as you read, connect what you read to things you already have stored in your long-term memory. Also to go back and read it over again before material fades from short-term memory completely. Probably not useful for syntax but the how's and why's.
I'm so happy I just found your channel! Just realized while watching this that I wasn't subscribed?! Anyways, I'm changing careers and I used your video to help convince my parents that it's possible to start coding with no computer science degree. And I love that you suggested taking notes because I love taking notes and I really needed the permission to do so from someone hehe ✍️🤓
Hello Kim, I hope you are not giving up sewing completely. I follow your channel. I am also trying to start a new career and hoping I can still sew after I start it
That was really helpful thanks
Hey Tiff I just experienced this for the first time. When I clicked LIKE the count moved a full - 1K 6.9 to 7.0. Yeah for you and for me.............. Have a good one - I really enjoy your work. TY
Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the tips Tiff! :) I have a masters in Information Science and I discovered during that degree that my fave courses was one about SQL database and another one about HTML, CSS and PHP.
That is awesome to hear!!
I just randomly discovered your channel and it just took me 30s of that one video for me to subscribe you🔥❤️
Thank you so much! Happy to have you here!
Thanks) it was really interesting for me)
Thank You for really great tips🤗
Yay! Glad to hear
Thank you for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
I appreciate this video. :)
Great advice ! Thank you

I'm in my 50's and just started to learn KALI this week :) Found this video helpful, thank you
That’s awesome good for you!!👏😊
ive been building a to do list every morning and slowly advancing its functionality off the top of my head
Wonderful tips! I particularly would like to echo that one about taking notes. It has always worked well for me.
Also don't try to learn fast, try to learn 'deep.' Work to really understand what you are learning. Try to take it apart and put it together different ways to see what works and why it works.
You don't have to 'remember' everything, but do know where and how to look the details up quickly. If you understand the concepts, the details can easily be researched.
Got the Codecademy pro and it’s going pretty well, the way they set it up makes it easy to remember. Started 2 weeks ago, almost done with python course. And they have a full-stack course I’m looking to start soon 💪🏽
That’s awesome to hear!! You got this!
I'm new to the channel and this is a great video for beginners. I know a fair bit but its been a long time since I took courses and I find even some university course can lead you to this tutorial purgatory so to speak. Thanks for the input!
Thanks so much!!
Great advice! Thank You Tiffany

Forsure! Hope you have a great day!!!
Excellent steps for learning in general Tiff 👍👍
Thank you!
My background before I tried to learn web design at all was hobby working on arduino in C style coding. I had a failed attempt at going back to school after dropping out in high school and getting into college in electronics, just financially had to go back to work and put it all back on the hobby level. I got the fundamentals of control systems and It stuff out of it so the logical side of things is super fun and as I'm learning web design with friends, I might be too slow to pick up the language we're working on but can always help brainstorm the logic side that I learn a bit of coding while can help them get past some of the plateaus.. It is just like learning a new spoken language, you need the lived experience of practice in the right environment. I got the basic html/css down ok where the fails help learn can make it through and figure out what I want to do but beyond that it's damn intimidating to learn the syntax of more complex languages. I bumped into your videos and really appreciate the team vibes growing forward on different levels. I guess it comes down to finding those "coat hangers" if you will that remind you where it fts. You might fallow an example and get to take a nice coat off the rack, wear it a bit.. but you really have to focus on remembering the coat hanger. Then try learn to put a new coat on it. Eventually we can start finding out when to pull the right coat out & how they all fit together organized. it's wild a bit but I always found that a nice lesson my math teacher shared with me in adult-ed to keep a little more oriented on what you've actually learned.
Actually, I saw in one video you talked about fashion industry so really the coat hanger metaphor.. the organizing part is probably more important eventually to think about organizing how to pull out the full outfit not just coats haha bless!
I dont really learn how to code using tutorials per se but they are helpful to introduce the tools and tricks that are available when making your own projects down the line. I hope that made sense.
It does! And agreed!
Thanks very much
Your content and ur videos are always ❤️ amazing ❤️and ur best
Thank you so much!
nice! thank you :)
Valuable points discussed. Thank You :-).
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Good advice! It also applies to everything too!
Absolutely!
Understanding Open Source projects on Github is very overwhelming at first, but it's the best way I know for learning complex concepts.
👏👏👏
Wow nice, thank you so much for the useful tips 🤗❤️
glad they are helpful! Hope you have an awesome day :)
I'm a beginner in coding. And you have helped me very much with your channel.
Thank you, have a great day 🌹
Hello, do you have a favourite app to take notes with? Is there anything that's best for learning code you reckon?
How you take notes when you learning? What programs do you use?
Great advice Thanks
Forsure ☺️☺️
I think you are looking for the word ", internalize" information. Once you have internalized a concept or algorithm you don't have to exactly remember things, but figure or "feel them out."
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for sharing this information...
Forsure!
Thanks for this video.
