JavaScript
Please is it normal that I will forget some things I learned on JavaScript as I am studying it
And if I encounter such,should I start afresh or continue the where I stopped

It’s so common that it’s understood to just be. I don’t remember everything, I just remember enough to know what to search for at MDN
You’re not expect to remember it all, there’s just too much. Instead, you should be familiar enough with the concepts to be able to use either MDN’s search box or just start clicking on links until you find what you’re looking for.
Sometimes I think I know what I’m looking for only to need to click through two or three links to find what I actually need
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API <-- this is the full list of apis and interfaces that javascript has
you will never know them all
just learning the dom api is enough for you to spend weeks and weeks learning
That’s the full list of web APIs, but not all. The base language APIs are not part of that list. For example,
Math isn’t there, nor Array or Object.you're right, i didn't notice that
so, yeah, that MASSIVE list isn't everything
Each platform has their own list of APIs. Web, Node, CloudFlare Workers, etc
i forgot those too
but the point is: don't get stuck because you forget something - there's way too much to learn anyways
Now that I know my problem
Know what and how to search
No need struggling to remember everything
I appreciate you guys 🙏
you're welcome
