These days finding good content on the internet is a real challenge. A lot of
|
|
the times I find myself staring at the monitor wondering what I should search
|
|
for, just to find that juicy content that goes into the detail of how something
|
|
works, and also does not annoy me with advertisements, newsletters, and the
|
|
like.
|
|
|
|
The original idea for the internet was really simple, a place for folks to
|
|
share, store, and find information. It was no more than static websites serving
|
|
HTML and CSS. Now that we have big tech tracking us on practically every corner
|
|
of the Internet, it is really difficult to find a clean resource you could say.
|
|
Search algorithms prefer clicks, revenue, advertisements, and beauty over
|
|
simplistic but gold content.
|
|
|
|
If you are a fellow searching for structured content and want answers RIGHT NOW
|
|
rather than in the next 10 minutes, here is what you have to know. Unless you
|
|
are a person with serious mental diseases, the following applies to you. Your
|
|
brain is made to be flexible, to adapt to new environments. Whether they are
|
|
filled with Netflix & Chill, reading books, doing fun activities, interacting
|
|
with people, or anything else. And your brain may well have a favorite learning
|
|
style, but that does not mean that you should limit yourself to just that
|
|
learning style. In fact, you have to challenge your brain to step out of its
|
|
comfort zone and learn, think, adapt, and consider. This is why I think
|
|
learning styles are nothing more than temporary classification of how your
|
|
brain is preferenced to devour information from the outside world.
|
|
|
|
I only realized this after coming into IT, at the beginning I thought that
|
|
learning was going to be as simple as a watch & learn process. Well, after 5
|
|
years of being into IT, I can safely say that I was wrong. Most learning
|
|
requires the will to read, explore, dig deeper, and most importantly..
|
|
experiment!
|
|
|
|
If this seems new to you, or even strange, know that it will show up sooner or
|
|
later in your career and the sooner you start experimenting, the easier and
|
|
more fun it will be! So why not start today? Get yourself a damn book, go read
|
|
some research papers online, share, learn, adapt, wonder, and grow.
|
|
|
|
I wll be leaving you with some good resources that I accumulated over the last
|
|
year.
