Hey Didier Pham are you coding along as you watch videos? One thing I like to do is sometimes watch the video first and then try to follow along a second time. Great work using google as that will be a huge tool for you as a developer. Many of the programming questions we have, have already been asked by someone else. You may have to dig through the results you're getting or rephrase your question but the more you practice the easier that part will become overtime

Hi Didier!

I also recommend building up your 3-rd party resource base/library/links/bookmarks (no single platform has ALL the answers). Plus it's a good idea to see a variety of perspectives, anyway, in general.

Some recommended third-party resources:

https://www.w3schools.com/

https://www.freecodecamp.org/

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/

https://css-tricks.com/

https://codepen.io/trending

https://www.youtube.com/user/derekbanas (His videos are BOMB - he talks fast, so he covers a lot and you don't end up waking up in a puddle of your own drool!?! LOL)

It's kind of a sidebar, but I go back and forth between JS, PHP, and Python, which are syntactically different enough from each other, that I often get confused and would be lost without being able to query Google to remember each language's details.

Even Guil, the Treehouse teacher, in one CSS course, even recommends knowing where to find answers quickly over trying to remember everything.

Also, if you are a Mac user, I recommend getting Dash, which is a vast coding documentation repository (even available offline), as well as a code snippet manager/text-expander:

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
