With html or any other code, is there a good way to go about memorizing all the formats and different attributes etc.?

There a lot to remember here. What is the best way to go about remembering everything?

Hi Pete,

This is where, for me, good ole paper and pen come in really handy, but any note-taking device you use would be helpful. While it's certainly possible to memorize all of the HTML specification, it's usually not necessary to do so - that's what Google's for! :)

That said, with HTML in particular, the more you use it, the more you'll find that there are certain elements/attributes that come up all the time. It helps to write all your code from scratch, at least at the beginning - the repetition will help your muscle memory/overall memory.

Hope that helps!

I completely agree with Cena. Pen and Paper ... and more pen and paper. And, it's also true that no one will ever expect any coder to remember everything.

Again, as Cena said... Google (and the languages' official documentations) will often be your best resource.

So, just keep practicing... take lots of notes... and when you get stuck -> don't worry, just look it up... we all do! :)
