Is it okay to google almost everything?

I'm currently trying to program a website myself using HTML and CSS, but I have to look up so many things again because I simply don't remember them. Should I just keep looking them up, or should I watch the six-hour video again?

but I need to check so much again because I just don’t know

I don’t know anyone who knows more about HTML than I and hardly anyone who knows more about CSS than I do. And I’ve been working with it every day for many years. Still, I have to check things again and again.

So it’s completely normal.

or should I look at the 6-hour video again?

SelfHTML is enough: https://wiki.selfhtml.org/wiki/HTML/Tutorials/Einstieg

Both are cheese. Go to a library and read there or buy a book that appeals to you.

Real learning requires patience and stamina. Even with a hundred hours, there is no broad knowledge in many areas and not here.

When programming, the strike is an important part.
It is impossible to know everything about programming, or in this case web development. Especially when you just start with it.

Seeing things you don’t know (more) is completely normal. You keep doing that, even after years.
The more websites you first, the more you will need to remember and look less accordingly.

Watching a 6 hourly video (or other videos) will not bring you anything.
You learn programming by programming. For websites the same.
With videos that accumulate the commands/days, you don’t learn them. You learn them by using them; work with them.

Googlen is normal, and at some point you get it out. You should try it alone, but only in case of emergency

and only in case of emergency

Well, actually you should look at the smallest uncertainty and not first “in case of emergency”.

For me, this is an emergency, because in a real programming language, uncertainty is a fast security risk

Exactly. If I’m not quite sure if it must be

if (x = y) oder 
if (x == y) 

you should not try this alone but look immediately 🙂

Regular research is everyday life in a programmer’s life, especially as a beginner. You don’t have to worry about it.

So I recommend looking in combination with copy and paste. The more you program, the less you have to look. Besides, everything repeats and copy saves you a lot of typing.

You need to know that.
