1. Watch the entire course and take notes

In this part, you just need to watch the course and take notes

Note the concepts you didn’t understand from the beginning or the important ones

Make sure that you stay focused while you do all this

2. Go over the notes you took

Now after you finished watching the course and taking notes you go and read all the notes once again

If you still can’t understand some concepts go on and research more about them

Do this until you understand what every concept does

3. Go through the course once again

Now you need to go through the course once again and code along

Look over your notes from time to time

Also, make sure that you break the code and play around with it

Maybe building something similar after each lesson/video

4. Build a project after each chapter/section

Let’s say that you finished learning about if/else statements and all that
