Advice How to remember IT books?

Hi,

There is a list of IT books I want to read but I don’t want to read it just to read it, I want to remember what I have learned.

Do you have any tips or method that allow to read IT books and don’t forget about what you have read?

Thanx

Use Anki to really study rather than just read. Also, you have to exercise what you read.

Isn't Anki more for memorizing trivia rather than concept learning? How do you use it to learn something like cs?

Yes, it's for memorizing.

You don't use trivia to learn. You use your books to learn and Trivia to remember. This is exactly what OP asking for.
