Great ideas here Lara. Thanks!

One thing I like to do after completing a tutorial in something new, especially if I will need to apply what I learned sooner rather than later is to create some notes on key ideas and also some standalone code snippets. This both speeds up my ability to reference the things I learned from that tutorial, and helps solidify my understanding by getting my thoughts out of my head and into written form.

Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback! :) Good tips there, too! When I remember, I also like to summarize what I've just read. Like you said, reviewing the material & making a "cheat sheet" is the way to go. The easier you make it for yourself later down the road, the better!
