Learning Vs Posting
David Kennedy

With my autistic style of learning with Richard's lessons i found in beginner course easier to occasionally post a question as i like answers to details and was fairly simple. But i am finding it less simple in expert lessons but still occasionally need to ask a specific question but i get increasingly afraid of coming across as stupid. Reason being as aforementioned autism but expanding on that i struggle to grasp the over-riding concepts to be able to generalise and consolidate. But because i just love ( or obsessed with having to) learn - either way but do indeed struggle i persist with the lessons but ironically i do not even have access on my laptop or run/manage a business. I still will continue with lessons i think up to and include advanced level but not developer level as interesting as they as i need to get fundamentals/concepts of access fully worked out. So asking two questions really of folks here - should i keep re-visiting all lessons over and over in isolation or do that but search for other learning sources too to try to bolster my learning and other question will other students mind if my posts seem a little off/vague given what i see of posts as being specific on-point to lesson concerned and mine not so much.

Never worry about asking questions, that's what the forums are for, and the more you learn the better you'll get.

Is it possible for you to put Access on your computer?
Having the ability to build the db yourself is one way for you to practice the knowledge you have watched otherwise it's stays as just theory. I personally find things to stick more with practical applications of concepts.

Every time I take one of Rick’s courses, I usually watch the courses twice, once to learn and again to actually build the database in class. After the course database is built, I usually use a collection of TechHelp videos that are most similar to what is covered in class (I’m on X15 right now so I’m building the class database and then watching videos on Delete Queries and Archiving Records and building databases from those videos). Just find what’s best for you, that’s my personal method of applying what I learned.

I do the same thing as Alex. Watch once... and just watch.  Second time I will follow along.

We all learn differently. What makes perfect sense to you might confuse me, and vice versa.
Factor in language barriers and learning from the internet can be a challenge.

There is no such thing as stupid questions. The people here are really good at trying to understand problems and offer up their best advice.

Richard's advice of watching a video once whilst doing nothing else, to then watch the video again and actually follow along is really good advice.
I'm a sucker for doing things the hard way. I will watch a video once, pausing at various moments to view code (or just to think) then get straight into trying to adapt the lesson into my own projects.
