I bought the book Effective Java & Design Patterns and tried several times, but I couldn't make any progress on my own and just kept getting further and further away... 😵‍💫 I feel like I've lost my direction and drifted because I don't know what I lack in my knowledge. 🌊 When I listen to the captain's lecture, I can check what I've missed and what my current level is! When I get the answer right when he asks a question during the lecture, it's so satisfying. 🥳 In fact, there are many cases where I don't even get close to the answer or I get it wrong, so the time it takes to fill in the gaps seems to take several times longer than the time it takes to study the lecture... 😳 Still, I think I can move forward without getting lost because he tells me what I lack. ⚓ When I listen to it repeatedly and fill in the gaps, I feel like I've grown a little. I feel like I'm studying (and being guided) in depth. 💭 Thank you so much for uploading the lecture 🙏🏻 Design Patterns & I will also try hard to follow Effective Java 💪🏻 🛳️ On board!
