It's just personal preference. Books that just give information (especially techs) are replaced by the Internet. Other books are supposed to teach me something

It's just personal preference.
Books that just give information (especially techs) are replaced by the Internet.
Other books are supposed to teach me something,
but my experience is that I learn stuff by doing and thinking rather than reading.
- pawsforthought 4y agoOn the claim that it’s all just information, consider that a book represents a substantial portion of the life of the author(s) and editor(s). Contrast that to the cheapness of publishing online. Of course, whatever works for you works for you.
- cenny 4y agoThanks for sharing! I agree, and I also learn the most from doing and thinking, but programming books gives me perspectives and ideas to think about, discuss, and try/do.
