Another major advantage of books is structure. Well written books tend to follow a high level framework or narrative which makes it a lot easier to remember large quantities of information. I can recall significant amounts of what I read in Building the Perfect PC, and it gives me a great framework for buying components. But before I read that book I spent many more hours reading about which computers to buy online, and I recall very little from that research.
- jiggy2011 15y agoThis is especially true with consumer gaming hardware blogs (apart from the obvious good ones like tom's hardware etc). There is so much stuff written by COD/WoW obsessed teenagers that basically just regurgitates marketing points along with weird theories about how things actually work. Luckily a rudimentary CS education does help sort the wheat from the chaff here.
