9,260 PointsMind of Fog with Learning
Hi, just thought I would open a discussion here in response to learning Javascript. Now I am experienced in PHP and understand the language quite well. But when it's time to flick back and forth between the two, it can get quite daunting and things I have done with JS in the past I get mind fog where I cannot think.
How do people get over this ? I work as a developer and this burden pops up atleast once a week :)

Full eight hours of sleep(when possible) and lots of water (currently doing the gallon challenge) helps with everything including "fog mind"
Also when you are not coding find something to take your mind off of it.

Also rest assured that most of the concepts you learn in one language can be repeated in another. Hang in there! :)
