Good points, one and all. I would add that:

e. At the point in time when one can clearly state, either verbally or in writing, what one has done, one has reached a basic understanding of what one has done.

Having recently assisted my wife with her masters program in mathematics education made this point very clear to me.

Also, getting to know a language of any kind is a never ending process, the damn things change! And I for one am a strong believer in differnt learning styles. Finding one that works for me is probably the toughest task I have ever taken on.

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


go ahead... be a heretic
