> there may be real benefit to learning just a little That's mostly how I go about learning new methods and technologies... I incorporate them a little at a time, building on knowledge while continuing to get work done.
Sometimes it gets frustrating trying to find "usable" tidbits that I can incorporate quickly and learn a little. I want to learn new things a little at a time, not all at once, or from the ground up. If a technology proves itself in small ways, then I'll recognize that it's worth the investment of more time. Any favorite sources for JS "tidbits" that I can draw upon that come with good explanations of what I'm coding?
