Is it okay to complete HTML and CSS without memorizing any of the attributes and just to memorize that what is possible to creat

I am completing HTML and CSS very fast. AS the questions are not too much hard I can complete them within a short time. But I notice I forgot the proper way to use many attributes. But I can remember most of the names of those attributes. So should I start over or just keep moving? I am not willing to the same with programming languages.

The most important thing about learning is that you write programs. In an absolute sense it doesn't even matter if you know everything by heart or if you google everything up along the way whenever you need it. Realistically, there'll be a part of the coding lore that you want to keep in your head, because you need it all the time. Then, there are other things you rarely need, so you don't lose a lot of time if you have to recheck 'how it worked again'. There's no problem reading through the tutorial quickly one time, but when you start to write code, you'll see you've forgotten this and that. Then, you can just review. As long as you are *using* most of the stuff, writing code with your own hands, you don't have a lot of time forgetting it. So, when you need to look up some attribute over and over, while you're *writing code*, you'll know first hand that you need it. And if not... well, then it maybe wasn't so important after all, at least not for you right now.

Great advice HonFu Sorder Rakib Hassan, we all learn differently. You sound similar to me. My technique is overview, practice, review, practice, research, practice, start again. Repeatedly using the techniques you learn will help
