How to start reading a 1300 page technical book again?

Question

IT education

Six months ago, I was very carried away by G. Schildt's book "Fundamentals of C # 4.0". I managed to read a very large amount of text, 300 pages (in the book, each page is simply huge). But, the thing is, I'm afraid I've forgotten a lot. More precisely, deep in my memory I remember most of these pages, but all these memories are inaccurate. How should I continue reading this book? Should I reread all 300 pages, or just go through the table of contents?

Answer 1

In such situations, I skim through again and what seems to me incomprehensible or forgotten - I reread it completely.

Answer 2

Start over. Repetitio est mater studiorum.

Answer 3

Of course start from the beginning. If you really like C # 4 so much, then you can read it twice.
ps
In case you don't know, the actual version now is C# 9 , and it is "slightly" different from what is written in the book.

Answer 4

If you didn't take notes, you didn't read them. If there was a synopsis, it would be worth re-reading. My book compression ratio is about 1 to 4. Rereading 75 pages is much easier than 300.

Answer 5

Technical literature should not be read linearly. First, we study the table of contents, then the section headings, everything in bold and conclusions. Further, more specific things to answer specific questions. It just doesn’t make sense to litter the brain like that, because. Memory is a rather limited resource.
