Learning Java Programming

When learning Java am I suppose to know how to write every line of code and remember every thing ? or know what to do and find a way to solve the problem? Sometimes I feel like I am pressuring myself when learning Java. I feel like I am afraid of forgetting how to do certain things is that OK to not remember?

I wouldn't worry too much about that. There are things you should remember. But most of those are easily google-able.

I would just say to keep following the courses, maybe try making some programs on your own without tutorials just to test/train yourself. The things you need to remember are things you'll do so often that you will just remember them from practice.

Ask questions here if you need help with Treehouse specific projects or there are many other Java forums that would be willing to help out. Such as StackOverflow.

That's the beauty of the Internet, and information sharing in general! You don't need to go around remembering every nitty, gritty detail. What you should know is the potential of the language you are currently using, and then just look at the documentation for how to implement it. As you go along, you will also start to remember how to solve problems as they usually pop up several times in different projects. So no worries, the documentation is your best friend!
