Should I push on or study it more? C#

I'm currently going through the C# track and I feel like I'm doing alright at learning the content, but I feel like I'm having a little bit harder of a time learning things like encapsulation and inheritance. Should I just continue on in the track even though I don't 100% fully understand it? I understand maybe 60% of it. Or should I Google it and learn more about it and try to clear things up? I don't want to overwhelm and discourage myself either. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks, Mike

My suggestion would be to continue on the track and WHILE you are learning pause on the concepts you don't fully understand. Do some googling/playing around and then continue the track once you feel you can apply context to what you are learning. That's what I do and find it satisfying. I came into Treehouse knowing nothing about JavaScript and have had tons of success doing that. I also used to do it all the time when I was reading books and didn't understand a word that was used.

Don't get discouraged. Sometimes we just don't get it - and it sucks. But take breaks, let your brain rest, absorb and process - you will succeed.

:point_right: My recommendation is continue on for now.

You'll find that there will be some overlap as you continue, with opportunities to review and reinforce what was presented before.

Keep track of anything you feel unsure about, and when you finally finish you can go back and review those concepts if you still feel it is needed.
