[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 8467, member: 22"] Back when I started there was no YouTube or internet courses, you had to learn from books, very specific websites, and if you were lucky enough to be studying a language that had one -- the online documentation of the language's official website. It was tedious, but you had to learn by doing, mostly, and that could get frustrating. It's one reason why I'm so thankful for the eventual boom of forum software, it created programming communities that helped to share and teach. Oh yeah, I've seen that done quite a lot, even had a few friends that learned by hand writing their code at first. I suppose it's a good way because it makes you think more about what you're doing, but it's also fairly impractical since...well...no matter how much you write, that code's not going to do anything :D. Great for writing pseudocode, perhaps, or ideas for UML, but nothing functional. Oh wow, yeah, that must've been crappy. So many risks of people just hijacking your network or computers because they can...not fun! [/QUOTE]
