You might "remember it better" but what is it that you are remembering??

Just a word of caution from a voice of experience ... When you are learning by trial and error you learn whatever you stumble upon that works, which might end up being a very difficult way to do something that is really quite simple, not to mention how it could affect your downstream designing/modeling. There is a ton of utility and automation built in to these programs which you are likely to miss if you have no resource (teacher or book/lesson) to identify it for you.
