With what?

There will always be something that causes this sort of reaction. Something that is like white noise to us. Like how white noise makes us zone out and our brain just distracts itself..

So you picked a book designed for people more familiar with the subject and are convinced it's all too much. Its better to begin the journey from where you are instead of jumping ahead. Do some basic reading and move up.. just don't stop reading and practicing. Skills and understanding take time and you can manage it.

You don't have to remember everything. Knowing something exists and knowing where to look it up it for details is the important take away. You're never going to remember all the API's and libraries.

youre not used to reading books with concept that you actually have to think about. and of course youll not understand everything at the first try but with programming youll see that most things come up over and over again. if you keep at it itll become all clear in no time. if pajeets manage to be bad programmers, youll at least be passable.
