Is it just me? I don't recite the built-in functions (intentionally) before I code. I will look into doc when I want to find a shortcut. It's very efficiently.

Is it just me? I don't recite the built-in functions (intentionally) before I code. I will look into doc when I want to find a shortcut. It's very efficiently.
Take Bootstrap as an example, I open the following doc:
http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/alerts/ http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/components/alerts/
If I want a Modal, I will check Modal doc (accurately, I jump to CODE PATTERN and copy it, not starting to read doc explanation.) and use it. After few times, you will memorize the basic by heart. (understands the basic, then you can create your snippets or something. Myself, I still open the doc to see the visual examples. Anyway, I coded with a lot of frameworks in different projects at the same time, not just bound to Bootstrap. You need to find your best workflow yourself)
EDITED:
"customize things" seems not suitable to the questioner at the moment. If he understands basic CSS, he may not ask this question. :)
- nkkollaw 10y agoI don't know if it's just you, but if I had to do that I would take about 10 times a long as I take right now to build something. It's much easier to memorize them in my opinion.
- KayL 10y agoWhat things do you actual memorize? All structures code and classes and JS methods & events?
- nkkollaw 10y agoYup. All of that, so that I can code a component from scratch without looking at the docs. It also comes from practice, if you use Bootstrap often you'll just memorize the components after a while.
- afarrell 10y agoWhat methods of memorization do you use? As a backend dev moving from python to ruby, I've been thinking of explicitly sitting down and learning-by-rote a lot of the standard library just so that I could move faster and feel less scattered. Do you make flashcards?
