Yes, it totally is. If someone is willing to write one, if someone wants to write one, that is their prerogative, and it isn't that hard to put it on a web page.
- acemarke 9y agoI think Gosha's point is that a lot of learners seem to want a tutorial that matches their specific use case 100%, down to the exact set of libraries and tools and versions that they're using. The more specific a tutorial they're looking for, the less likely it is that such a tutorial exists. By learning to break down a problem into smaller pieces and looking for articles that are more about the principle than the exact identical set of tools, it's more likely that they'll find something that helps them solve the smaller individual problems, and thus helps them make progress on the larger task.
- khedoros1 9y agoNo, it isn't, for the reasons stated in the article. Is it possible "for any X application"? Absolutely; you could write a tutorial on how to do any one thing, but that's not what the question was.
