Hi Cara, Thanks for that thoughtful post. You are absolutely right. I feel we as developers could do more to help those who want to learn do so, but I think we need some direction as how to make the learning process easy enough for those struggling to understand. Not everyone is the same, some learn easier than others, and I am not sure there is a one size fits all solution to this problem.
For example, some people learn orally by having a teacher or instructor talking them through the process step by step. Others, like myself, can just pick up a book, read it, and master it no problems. Others need to see a working example they can modify, play with, deconstruct and reconstruct before they get it. So in order to help someone we need to know what mode or modes would benefit the community most. Cheers!
