You Won't Remember it All + +I watched hours of videos and took copious notes, and months later there was much I didn't remember. I spent 3 days going +through my notes and making flashcards so I could review. + +Read please so you won't make my mistakes: + +[Retaining Computer Science Knowledge](https://startupnextdoor.com/retaining-computer-science-knowledge/). + +A course recommended to me (haven't taken it): [Learning how to Learn](https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn) + +### 2. Use Flashcards + +To solve the problem, I made a little flashcards site where I could add flashcards of 2 types: general and code. +Each card has different formatting. + +I made a mobile-first website so I could review on my phone and tablet, wherever I am. + +Make your own for free: + +- [Flashcards site repo](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards) +- [My flash cards database (old - 1200 cards)](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards/blob/master/cards-jwasham.db): +- [My flash cards database (new - 1800 cards)](https://github.com/jwasham/computer-science-flash-cards/blob/master/cards-jwasham-extreme.db): + +Keep in mind I went overboard and have cards covering everything from assembly language and Python trivia to machine learning and statistics. It's way too much for what's required. + +**Note on flashcards:** The first time you recognize you know the answer, don't mark it as known. You have to see the +same card and answer it several times correctly before you really know it. Repetition will put that knowledge deeper in +your brain. + +An alternative to using my flashcard site is [Anki](http://ankisrs.net/), which has been recommended to me numerous times. It uses a repetition system to help you remember. +It's user-friendly, available on all platforms and has a cloud sync system. It costs $25 on iOS but is free on other platforms. + +My flashcard database in Anki format: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/25173560 (thanks [@xiewenya](https://github.com/xiewenya)) + +### 3. Start doing coding interview questions while you're learning data structures and algorithms, + +You need to apply what you're learning to solving problems, or you'll forget. I made this mistake. Once you've learned a topic, +and feel comfortable with it, like linked lists, open one of the coding interview books and do a couple of questions regarding +linked lists. Then move on to the next learning topic. Then later, go back and do another linked list problem, +or recursion problem, or whatever. But keep doing problems while you're learning. You're not being hired for knowledge, +but how you apply the knowledge. There are several books and sites I recommend. +See here for more: [Coding Question Practice](#coding-question-practice) + +### 4. Review, review, review + +I keep a set of cheat sheets on ASCII, OSI stack, Big-O notations, and more. I study them when I have some spare time. + +Take a break from programming problems for a half hour and go through your flashcards. + +### 5.
