I never attempt to memorize anything anymore. What I work with on a regular basis creeps up into my memory even if I don't want to, and what I don't remember I go seek out help from the developer's best friend - the internet.

IMHO - More than anything, what you need to do is sharpen your searching skills - This means that you need to know what to look for and where to look for it, and at least equally important - what to trust in the search results - but you really, really don't need to memorize anything.

I'm glad to see that Albert Einstein held the same position on this subject.
