Over the Thanksgiving holiday I traveled and didn't have access to my desktop computer (I know, I know - who has a desktop anymore?) so I spent a little bit of time going back through some lessons and making notes using VSC. It helped my understanding tremendously to go back and type functions out myself. Running the notes is not possible, because I like to practice and see the progression of functions and sometimes that involves assigning the same variable multiple times. But these notes are not meant to be functional, they are meant to give me a well organized way to return to a concept and review it quickly.

I highly recommend making files of notes as you're learning, it helps quite a bit with the more complicated concepts.
