Hi, im not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I've been coding my butt off, ill do at least 6-8 hours per day and honestly I'm still very confused. ill watch and rewatch videos to make sure I'm not missing anything, ill write and rewrite code but when we get to actually building an IOS app I get completely lost. Is this normal when you're first starting out? what am I not doing? what should I be doing more of? Please and thank you.

Hi Sabath,

Getting lost is normal, even once we understand the language. Sometimes all we need is a break and a hot cup of tea by a cozy fire. Our brains can only process & digest so much information in one day, and we need time to let things sink in before moving on to the next concept.

I highly recommend the How to Learn short series at https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-learn. There are some timely gems here.
