As a "new" developer, it is mighty tempting to bite off more than one can chew. When we are new to a discipline as complex as modern computer programming, it can be hard just to figure out where to start. We don't know how much we can eat or how much we can stomach in one sitting!
I've saw a development posting for someone asking how to make a text-based navigation, similar to what was used in the classic Zork or Adventure text-based games: "go north", "east", "up", "climb", etc. This computing "problem" has been solved many years ago, but learning how to reason out a specific design, the specific way to code, takes some understanding and learning.
I too have been trying to get through as much material and reading as much as possible in hopes to speed up the "eating of the elephant". I have some awareness of the large amount of work ahead of me. But some days after setting and finishing my reading goals, reading the responses spooned out from other developers, I can't help thinking that perhaps it isn't only a matter of simply keep chewing but instead I don't think they same way as they do (perhaps I am a banana)!
