I am starting to not get a lot of code challenges. Is this bad?

Some rest always helps, do not try to code for 12 hours straight, rest 5 minutes every half hour. That could help.

Specially on java i try to follow the lectur on the workspace, Then y write everything i need on my notebook and if i want to practice before i go on i ll redo de lecture on my text editor with out looking on the workspace.

Depends. If it's a new content, then I will assume, if you do 5hours of it, you will not learn all of it, hence you will have hard time. It's good to do it anywas.

I suggest you code for 12hours, but not watching soo much videos. Rather go on codepen and practice what you have learned. Practice is the key.

If you do learn for 12hours.. next day comeback and re-watch it on speed x2.

Remember the more you learn the better you will get , but you need practice, but 12hours is good. If anyone says otherwise than you are cutting down and wont reach your potential.

You need to be smart on how you learn throw the 12hours. You shoudl take break, eat, have some longer break.

The other 4 hours should be your breaks, and then go sleep and repeat.

Don't learn all day, but practice alongside. Infact, practice 3times more than what is in the video. At night when you get tired, try to read articles about what you have learned.

You need to be like a dog, a bulldog that is comming for it! You brainstorm your self every time from every way, you breath it, in and out. You chase it and don't miss a day. You feel bad you do more. You feel crap or sick and you do twice as more than what you normally do. You go and get it lol people have done it so you can.

I too am just starting out myself (although in Web Dev) - I would recommend not trying to rush through the course modules and actually take some time to build a small project using what you have learnt. I haven't actually gone through any new modules for close to a week now - rather I have just focused on applying what I have learnt to a couple of projects. I think doing things this way will stop you from getting too far ahead of yourself and finishing the course whilst having little knowledge of how to apply what you have learnt.

I've found that although it's generally very easy to complete a code challenge, putting that code into practice in your own project alongside other bits of code is a different story!

Looking stuff up and pasting is fine as long as you understand why it's going in and what it's doing - it can only add to your repertoire of knowledge!

Hope this helps.
