Best Method of Taking Notes (on a language you are learning)?

Hello GameDev Community, While I was learning the basics of multiple programming languages, I did not take notes. While I moved on into the more advanced tutorials, I lost my knowledge on the basics, it is frustrating. I have come up with the conclusion that I will takes notes. This is where I need the advice of you experienced coders. I have downloaded EverNote to take notes on my computer. It is still kind of hard to remember although I now have a reference. So my question is this. Is it better to take notes on your computer or write it down in a notebook? It takes longer writing notes in a book, especially the code examples but it a lot easier to remember than when you type the notes. If you have methods of taking notes that are different, feel free to share them. Thank you for your time, -Cham

I've never thought of that, but wouldn't you have to locate the file with the comments on that specific function? It would be very unorganized, that is my only worry.

it depends. if you're making a game or something and using a new function, yeah it'd be pretty unorganized. But I found making a seperate program called "trees","Dynamically Linked Lists", etc. and include comments can be wonderful especially when doing something free.
