and the differeence in reading the old school book and trying =t out.? . with a tutor. ? I am =oign to conitinue because I can't believe it.
learning from experience is =est done in simulation first; when it matters money has been =pent on god simulations (air flight; tanks fighting etc); we have built =hat we call social (as oppose to physical) simulation for business and =ilitary -- it is how I make a living); they are not physical =xperiences, and keeping costs down is always an issue, but they seem =eal enough
but computer science is very =ifferent; if you want to build something in CS there is nothing to =imulate since the computer is doing that naturally; you are already in =he real environment; the computer speaks a language and you must learn =1;
if I wanted to =each you a foreign language (which I have done too) I could put you in =hat country in simulation and you could try talking; still to start you =ould need to learn some words first; our language programs assumed you =new some already but you dont know any HTML; so you must learn it =irst; since books have done this, we hae no need to replicate them; so =his not representative of what we usually build; we already have a =omputer that speaks he langguage; we dont already have a simulated =edical or legal environment for example so we would have to build it =nd then we could throw you in
A book written in 06. . =oring beyond belief. how about showing kids what the final =eb page should / could look like on first page. no =nteractive . roger this is nuts. I am slogging =hrough and I am motivated. kahn academy =ar exceeds this, far. and they suck big time
in case you want to take a =hallenging course
thanks, you ok?
yes; except I have that I don't know what to do with =y money feeling (business is good, but it feels like 2008)
you?
