Is there a strong benefit in learning all the necessary syntax?

Question

IT education

For example, allocating 5 minutes, an hour, a day, a week, etc. for this. learn 99% (figuratively) of the necessary functions, operations, etc., and then program, is the benefit strong?

Answer 1

The syntax of the language in which you specialize is generally the minimum basis that you just need to know and know well.

Answer 2

What is there to cram?
The syntax of programming languages, except for extremely rare monsters, is very simple.
And mastered in 30 minutes to a couple of days.
By the way, it is not necessary to know by heart. Some rarely used constructions you can "peek" every time in the documentation.
But the libraries associated with the language - yes, that's a lot. You fucking learn them.
You need to understand the basic principles - where to look for libraries in the documentation.
You won't learn anyway - the libraries are too extensive.
PS:
I have been programming since 1988. I know more than 15 programming languages.
I constantly use 3 programming languages

Answer 3

Syntax is a mediocre thing, the first thing you learn to program, if you know how the language works and how to solve various problems, then syntax is often a matter of documentation.
It's good when you work in 1 language, you get used to it and learn everything. But it may also be the case where you have to jump from technology to technology, and always knowing everything by heart = unrealistic.
So to paraphrase, a good understanding of programming concepts/languages ​​and being able to use documentation/google is better than just memorizing all the syntax.

Answer 4

The knowledge that is required to apply the functions is not formed as a result of "cramming", but as a result of practical application, so the benefits of "cramming" in this case are equivalent to the benefits of installing a RAM bar in a DVD drive, it seems that you have 16 GB RAM, but still the computer does not work better, but now the disk cannot be inserted.

Answer 5

syntax learns in about one day,
just take and learn

Answer 6

Cramming is definitely not worth it :) to learn how to program, you need to program, and the syntax will be remembered by itself

Answer 7

Syntax is the base.
To teach him or not to teach is ridiculous.
You don't ask me - but should I teach all the letters and punctuation marks?
The syntax is easy.
Libraries are hard to learn. Strictly speaking, this is not necessary.
All the same you will constantly climb in the Help.
You need to know where and what to look for.
