I believe the best way for me to remember something is either create a program that manipulates that something, or write a tutorial about it.
I don't know why im posting this thread, maybe as an insight of how I remember stuff for long term instead of keeping it in my head momentarily. I am a very forgetful person unless I am giving it my 100% concentration.
Maybe you even have different methods of remembering, but basically here is some examples.
In PHP at the time I learned all the basics of php GD I went ahead and created a tutorial on how to make dynamic images. I know it might look stupid, a php beginner teaching something he himself just learned, but in all honesty I remember all the needed GD functions for everyday dynamic image programming. If not for the tutorial I wrote I would of probably gone back to that tutorial to look at references to remind me.
When it came to my College Algebra course I hated factoring so much, but I took the time over the weekend to make a problem that would factor trinomials. Doing the research myself on creating this program has made me wrap around how to actually remember how to factor. So yea, for me to remember something I usually have to spend some time on it, and doing that I just be creative and make something.
So now im just babbling on with my 2 cents, but whats the best way you remember stuff I guess?
