He had memorized literally everything. Then he was amazed about what I produced. It ended up with me not needing the books anymore and him being my pet-encyclopedia. The most important thing is that you know about an option, know that it exists rather then exactly remembering the exact syntax. | |

| Jun 27, 2012 at 19:08 | comment | added | programmer | heh, I had a friend that wanted to learn to program and he started with HTML/CSS/JavaScript. He was telling me "I just got done memorizing 'xyz'" and I smiled and told him that he should just work through learning the concepts of things and then find a good reference to use. Knowing that there is something in abc language that does whatever is good enough. You can look it up in the manual/ref. You will memorize the basics just by continued programming and you will need the manual a little less. | |
