Learning By Doing

When it comes to learning, I am a do'er. I like reading books and watching videos and online courses, but I usually don't really learn until I have a task. Sometimes this is as simple as going in and cleaning up code as opposed to reading through it. I'll have a far greater understanding of the code doing tasks like that. I am able to focus, knowing that I'm doing something.

I actually like documenting as well. I've always liked toying around building help systems or large collections of notes etc. At times I will use documentation to learn about projects or systems. These notes are very useful. I tend to need my notes often.

I have even done similar to the code reformat with flow charts. I've taken an existing flow chart and recreated it with greater detail geared toward developers.

I guess, do what ya gotta do to get it done.
