Books vs Computers for learning

PythonPython Forum LeaderThe Royal RAM
If for example you wanted to learn something, a programming language perhaps do you prefer reading from a book to learn it or by reading on a computer from a website or perhaps an e-book?


If by book post the names of any computer/webdesign books you have.

    If I think I'll have the info in a book, and I know where the book is, i'll try that. :)

    A book... but I hate learning... I've had two exams on Tuesday and Wednesday and I just counted that I have to learn about 3200 pages more to graduation... 8 exams left and 3200 pages left to learn... Quote from Metallica - One: "So please God help meeeee" :)

    you probably see why I don't have nervs to learn programming :)

    I like them both as I can read a book when I'm not near a computer and I like ebooks as they allow you to make the text size bigger :)

    I personally prefer to read the first few pages of some ebooks about the language to get to grips with the syntax and stuff and then i prefer to get hands on. Like i will find some free scripts in that language and pick the source code apart and figure it out myself!

    i gerneally give it a try then look for help on the internet, books easily go out of date where as the internet is always upto date

    unless its not something computer related - (probably not gonna expect this from me) im really into world war 2 and i hav a few books ive never read annything on the internet about that

    If i find a good book its a lot more helpful then anything i find onthe computer.....plus some books have references to their site which can display what its showing you....but i can't really understand half the things i read so meh

    It depends, some sites are helpful, and provide examples
