- RodgerTheGreat 16y agoI always keep an offline copy of the Javadocs on my laptops, and it's easy to do similarly for any other language of your choosing. If your problem is needing to look up algorithms, I'd say that copying and pasting from programming blogs and wikipedia is not a substitute for actually learning algorithms. With a very small amount of memorization and a larger amount of practice designing algorithms it can be quite easy to reinvent these techniques on the spot.
- windsurfer 16y agoI once tried to accomplish a variety of tasks with nothing but an Ubuntu liveCD. It's actually very helpful and complete! It teaches you a lot about what tools you have on hand, which I now realize are much more helpful (if you know what you need is there) than the ad-ridden internet.
