anyone else struggling with RPA practice sessions jumping ahead?

[AutoTasker]

I started the RPA Developer Foundation after taking a few beginner C# courses. The core modules are pretty straightforward, but the practice sessions introduce concepts I haven't encountered yet, which can be really frustrating. It's like learning basic math and suddenly being asked to calculate a rocket's trajectory. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I take a step back to fill in the gaps, or is it better to just keep moving forward and try to absorb it all?

Totally normal, many find the jump from basics to real world application jarring. If the gaps are slowing you down that much, it can help to just pause a bit and review key concepts. Though often, learning as you go builds stronger understanding.

I hit a similar wall learning RPA after C# basics. I paused to review some intermediate concepts, which made the advanced stuff click way faster

It's definitely normal to feel that way!
RPA builds on a lot of different concepts, and there will be new things even with a C# background.
I'd recommend trying to understand the new concepts as they come up rather than just pushing through.
You can always take a quick detour to a dedicated resource for that specific topic.
Try looking up tutorials on the UiPath Academy or even general programming resource like freeCodeCamp for a deeper dive into this subject.

Yeah, well that leap can be a little rough. I believe it's better to pause long enough to patch the gaps, then keep grinding through. That's gonna make it click better in the long run.
