So much this. People learn so much better when that knowledge is functionally applied as part of a goal they want to achieve, and that also teaches people to be doers who can follow through with a project. Too bad it take more teacher skill and student freedom, and it's not good for producing factory drones.

Even reading a great O'Reilly book being sure to complete and understand the examples isn't enough. Without that immediate practical application, it's no more educational than any other form of entertainment, and much drier.
