Stop cutting and pasting and start typing. I try to copy from memory, but even writing it out while looking at the original still seems to help retention.

- larrys 13y agoI actually do do that almost always. Habit started with books actually. Exactly true as far as learning and retention. Noting even that when learning php somethings that I cut and pasted had weird invisible embedded characters that caused things to fail [1]. That was actually a pretty good learning experience trying to take something that appeared correct character by character and figure out why it wasn't working by stripping things down the the basics. [1] Might have been on w3schools or something like that.
