Ok...following on from another thread alexgeek suggested we have a poll for books vs online tuts.

So here goes...

I personally think books are the way to go. For reasons I pointed out in the other thread...but I will try summarise here.

- Copying and pasting code from websites is not learning its copying - by typing the code out your learning as you type and it embeds in your memory better

- Books are a good reference...there and then even without a internet connection

- they teach you the "why" as well as the "how" so you can apply the info to other situations

- contrary to some peoples belief you can search a book...its by a method called an index!

So there.
