How many of you do or do not understand everything you learn on sololearn and why do you think that is so

Answer 1

The tutorials are very short and not enough to cover everything regarding the topic...

Answer 2

The SoloLearn tutorials are just very brief.
Every topic is supposed to be touched once at least, so there is little room to explain or to give more examples.
I remember that I had trouble understanding the whole OOP part of Python when I first read it here.
Lately, when I looked at it again, I thought: "Wait, this is all just basics!'
Yeah, it is, but if you look at them for the first time, it can still be confusing.
I learn better with books that elaborate a bit more on everything.

Answer 3

I understand everything apart from some concepts in js and php for example sometimes when I'm learning I just lose focus and end up reading the lesson without keeping it in my brain

Answer 4

I never understand everything a language has to offer by doing solo learn. I use solo learn as a first way to get my feet wet in a language. After i am done here i go to youtube or if i have the budget to grab a udemy course on the subject i do that.
Another point i want to touch on is
you also need to practice practice practice. Build applications, websites, calculator apps. Until you do that you will never really understand the language. If your stuck in something write out the definition on a piece of paper or the syntax and it helps your brain think about it further.
Sololearn only teaches the basics. It is great at it to!

Answer 5

I completely forgot to mention, if you are skipping around to different languages it’s not a good thing for your learning. HTML and CSS are a little different. I spent around a week and a half each resulting in 3 weeks and feel pretty comfortable with them. But you can’t learn Java, javaScript etc... in a week. You need to spend enough time on each of them. I can’t tell you how long because each person is different but im talking about a month or months.
Me personally I spent 4 months learning PHP. I’ve built a wordpress theme and soon will be building my own CMS to add on to my services for clients.
I started learning JavaScript after i felt comfortable with php.
p.s. I’m a dad that has a full time job as an IT Analyst.

Answer 6

Coder X sololearn courses only can't help I would recommend you to visit different platforms if you have any doubt in that topic. The best thing is using sololearn simultaneously by attending your classes. Teachers are the best.👍

Answer 7

I think it's just a natural part of learning new things, and especially with programming, where there are a lot of concepts and different ways of thinking. A simple task may for example be executed in programming in a hundred different ways. Since programming is all about being efficient, most tutorials focus on the "best practice" or the easiest ways to achieve something, which can be a bit confusing sometimes.
An example could be 20 If-statements; a beginner would understand what's happening, but it would be inefficiet. The if-statements could for example be replaced with a nested for-loop instead; it would be more efficient, but a beginner might struggle with wrapping their head around the concept of it.

Answer 8

Sometimes it is not possible to understand everything in one go. So you have to go back and revise, not to mention putting into practice what you learn.

Answer 9

You can't definitely rely just on Sololearn, but you can start from it. It would be great if Sololearn adds a little bit more explanation to its lessons and make the quizzes a bit harder.

Answer 10

i think its because for some of us all those new patterns of thinking are new, coures are kinda easy you can answer a lot from question but if you really wanna learn you will read comments and all those extra stuff that you have here, also i am speaking only from perspective who only learned html and css. i find very usefull that you can double check your knowledge through challanges but still with all that i am douing freecodecamp course as well. overall i like this app and courses just because they are not that hard and i am recomending this app to everyone who ask where to start or if you dont have enough time to code everyday like i dont.

Answer 11

sololearn does not explain what you are learning enough, you ate shown lessons and coding but sololearn foes not always describe why the code works how it does

Answer 12

You're not alone.

Answer 13

Ive been famous, and I started this. Yeah! I knew how to do it in 1026 so. I forgot by now, yeah!

Answer 14

because you are not puting the code into practice. Lessons should relate to actual work you will be doing in the field, at a job that you get hired for. You learn about the code in solo learn but not how apply it in real world situations.
