Re: memorizing commands

Regex is not obscure.

And if you know what technology it's associated with, that will tell you
where it is (or give you links). So where would you use regex?

Don't memorize stuff. Figure out HOW it works and you'll be able to
step through anything and look up the little details if necessary. But
the more you practice things, the better off you'll be.

The best thing for docs, like configuring, is practice. Take a lab that
you know well. Pretend you don't know anything and have to look
everything up. no matter how mundane. The good news is that if you
already know the answer, you'll know when you found it in the docs. But
that practice of thinking/looking up will get you more familiar with
where things are on the docs!

Everything's about practice.

Good luck to ya!
