I’ll answer this before some “clever” person gets a chance to say “practice”. in essence you can learn off head by just playing and experiment with code without worrying too much. You can do this with jsbin.com. Look at a piece of code, and truly try to understand it. then try to implement the code from memory. Compare your code to the original and make a note of the parts that you got wrong (if any) and make a comment. Then comment out the code and attempt to reproduce the code a few more times. This works well with small snippets of code, dont overwhelm yourself trying to remember an entire 1000 lines of script. Just practice one section at a time. this is called deep practice (coyle 2010 the talent code) I reiterate that it is important that you undestand what you are typing rather than just attempting to recall everything from rote memory without understanding. Analyse the code to understand the different parts that make it up. then understand how these parts relate to each other. this is called between elaboration(craik and lockhart 1972) to help you to understand code easily, it is best to use already established tools of the trade including flowcharts and psuedo code. godspeed
