A JavaScript Study

Revision resource with examples.

Lifelong Learning

The purpose is for revision, recall and reference for when I forget. I'm human.

Some learning gems I've picked up along the way

Feynman Technique Summary

• Don’t fool yourself that you know something. I try leave the ego at the door, especially when learning.
• Explain it to someone else in simple language. ( My mate Karrel and a line of rubber ducks on the monitor)
• Identify areas you are having problems explaining. Go back to the source. Work through examples until you understand
• Explain in simple jargon free language to identify your base assumptions

Other Gems (Sources unknown)

• Focus effort on the stuff I don’t know
• Practice examples and practice recall. Don’t go straight to the answers
• Use flash cards for revision
• Don’t beat yourself up about making mistakes, there are enough people out there to do that for you :-)
• Long term recall is formed with spaced repetition
• Note taking is often a false sense of security. You can fool yourself you know a subject with copious notes
• Recall is where it’s at. Do the examples from recall
• Nobody said getting into physical condition would be easy. If it was, everyone would do it
• When you feel like giving up, remember anything worth doing may suck in the beginning.
• At the point of giving up you might be closest to your success.
• When giving up, make it's wise to make sure the decsion based on real information.
