Gosh. We can all learn something from a good book, no matter how
accomplished we are.
You might have learned something new or just plain faster.
Not to speak for Meinte, but different people learn things different
ways. Some people learn well by reading books, others don't. This has
nothing to do with how smart or accomplished we are or aren't.
I like lynda.com but it doesn't mean I won't pick up a book too. Meinte
might be surprised if he took a little time to pick up a book - it's a
different perspective. I'm not suggesting that Meinte isn't a good
developer because he hasn't picked up a book, but I think he has missed
out by excluding that experience and it isn't a great idea to exclude a
resource for five years for whatever reason. It's certainly a practice
I'd discourage for anyone wanting to learn anything.
My comment maybe is a bit "old school" in that I am totally surprised
that someone would be learning something and apparently avoiding books.
I guess it might be a phase of the digital revolution.
Meinte - books are good. It makes me feel sad that you haven't picked
one up.
