This is the start of a great friendship, not that I have many friends. However, it is Sunday, and so far, I have spent several hours pouring over the questions at the end of chapter one. They are great questions, well, exercises really. Little challenges. Puzzles. Creative experiments, critical inquiries. They require thought, organization, research, analysis, evaluation, discovery.
The book is "Web Development & Design Foundations with HTML5" It is authored by a brilliant Terry Felke-Morris, though I don't even know yet who that brilliant person is. It's just that their craftsmanship is excellent. Just with the first chapter, I am seduced. There is so much. There is the IETF, ARPAnet, accessibility, programming languages, clients and servers, protocols, and this is just the start!
Each word, each idea is a world unto itself. Filled with connections, history, associations, deeply intricate and wildly attached. I read the chapter fairly quickly, retyping each sentence, close to faithfully. However, these are things I want to understand, feel like I need to understand.
I am hoping to find the most effective strategies for learning this material. I want to understand how to collect my research, how to save or index resources.
