How do you read literature on programming and remember?

Question

Programming

Tell me, please, how do you remember what you read?
Because if I read, but I forget in a week..... -((
New variables, for example, a configuration file, do you learn, or just read?
Do you memorize new concepts, or apply during practice?

Answer 1

Purely reading, does not bear any result. There are only 2 options here, the first is to theorize, already with some skills to imagine how it works, looking for a solution to the real problem that you have identified. Either practice, smoke, roughly understand how it works, poke. Usually at the beginning you need 50% to 50% of both. Then figure it out for yourself.

Answer 2

After reading, apply practice on what you read or take notes, for example, with a pen on paper

Answer 3

How to study / outline books on programming?

Answer 4

There are very few concepts in programming. They are easy to remember. The rest depends on the tool, it does not learn, but the documentation is read at the moment when this method needs to be inserted into the code.
Usually, it is enough to read the introductory manual once before starting work.

Answer 5

New variables, such as the config file you teach

Of course not, why teach them? It is enough to give understandable names and peep if necessary.
And I don’t memorize them like school theorems in mathematics, but I understand why they are needed, how they can be applied, and how the described trips may differ from what I do / know at the moment. That is how it is remembered.
A memorized definition will not help you in any way.
