Tutorials

This is a learning weekend and I have tutorials on CSS, CSS3, jQuery and AJAX lined up.

I like these W3CSchools tutorials as they fit my learning method perfectly – short and simple with plenty of try-it-out code samples. That allows me to quickly get a gist of the language and get started working with it. Then I can learn all the powerful and advanced features as and when I need them. This reminds me, how different my current learning methodology is from when I was a full-time tech student. Back then, I use to run through a full book, or many books, on a programming language before attempting to write any serious code with it. Guess I had the liberty of almost unlimited time and no pressure to deliver back then. Then everything was a deep dive. Now, they are all dip sticks.

Anyway, just finished the CSS tutorial. 1 gone, 3 to go.
