How do you guys study by learning through a smartphone?

Question

When you're using a PC, normally you have a notebook, a pen in your hands, etc...
Or
You can use programs like Notion to take notes and save examples to check it later.

But when you're using an app like this (which I think it's amazing), do you guys only do the lessons? Or do you take notes after or along the lessons e.g?

Answer 1

TL;DR

No, it's not about taking notes.

For General Purpose Learning, Off-topic for this forum;

For ways to use SoloLearn to improve programming skills, good question.

You need to:
- use Code Playground to practice,
- try solving Code Coach to practice programming logic,
- study great codes of others to learn from peer,
- etc.

I suggest this thread for more suggestions: What is the Best Way to Grow in SoloLearn:

On the other way round, the least thing that you should do in SoloLearn is:
- Pursuing virtual achievements (Those badges)
- Trying to be a moderator (Giving warnings in Q&A forum)
- Making friends only (Treat this as a social media app, without learning)

All these are distractions which don't help you improve your programming skills.

Answer 2

Sometimes for solving Code Coach here, specially which are at the end of units, i use paper and pencil, just to be able to mapping my mind easily through to my idea about solution.
I think everybody has their own learning strategy. There is no right and wrong way. You just need to find what works better for you.

Amazing, man! Seems like it is more of a dynamic/immersive type of study where you can learn like it's a "duolingo" for developers, and you can learn by completing lessons and exercises and repeating the codes (as I saw in your link) instead of seeing a video, taking notes, and then going to the next.

Also it's super interesting that a similar question has been made for you 3 years ago as you shared in your answer, I'm loving the idea of this community and how it shows up.

Answer 4

Exactly~

The courses are designed to quiz you immediately after each "knowledge pieces".

This Q&A forum has a search feature to look for previously answered questions.

A bit more information:

1. C-Sharp Documentaion
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/

Instead of taking notes, you should learn to be able to read the documentation, which includes syntax and examples.

2. I just checked your profile and I noticed that it is slightly different to before. Before I gave my first answer, you have C-Sharp only; Now you also have JavaScript.

May I therefore recommend this thread for you:
