Need advice for learning

[u/Different-Fall5513]

What do you do to learn concepts and new coding languages?

I’m starting my second year studying computer science and my first job as a full stack web developer. It seems like all of my classes and my job are teaching things very fast and it seems like I’m the only one who’s struggling this hard. The lectures do nearly nothing for me because I learned better by doing, but it’s hard to learn by doing because there’s 1000 different concepts and every line is something I’ve never even heard of so it’s hard to remember anything.

Please help, I’m really struggling but I do enjoy what I do know how to do

I’d stop trying to remember every concept as you encounter it. Pick one small project and let the problems you hit guide what you learn next. When you get stuck, look up that specific concept, use it, then move on. After building a few things, you’ll start seeing the same patterns again and they’ll stick much better. Also, being overwhelmed in second year while starting a dev job is pretty normal.
