Pretty much, yes. I do put the names of specific functions in my Anki. And concepts. Instead of just describing what questions I put into Anki, here's a curated selection of the for the Java language: https://ankiweb.net

What do you mean by "self-taught" -- and why is that important? Even if you can't go to a university, they remain great ways to learn software engineering. For example, https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm has usefu

I'm not interested in doing your research for you. But I'll give more specific questions that you can research. Look into the history of the keyboard and the typewriter. Commercial typewriters have been around since the 1870s, and
