However, a quick search on Google or iTunes will undoubtedly yield a lot of very interesting results. You should also make sure that you're listening to something that's educative enough.

I think this is actually really important, because a lot of programmers (arguably most pros) spend as much if not more time reading code as actually writing it. >Putting in examples of segments of code? Yeah, that sounds right. And asking yourself what they do. Not in a vague way but in very specific ways. What is the value of foo...that type of thing. I'm sure you can think of cooler, more interesting questions. Perhaps a mixed input/trial-error approach would be ベスト. @quend

I am a newbie to programming besides some dabbling in C++ in the past, how would you recommend inputing a programming language in an SRS? Putting in examples of segments of code? However I do think that trial and error is alright in programming, no? Because you can get a right/wrong response from the compiler immediately? Ah O.K. thanks!

You have not been forgotten. Um...yeah, I did buy Japanese books for PHP. NO single book was like suuper gold book to end all books, but then I guess almost no book ever is. The all had their strengths and weaknesses. I generally picked books that had good indexing and interesting, well-commented code examples. If I had to do it all over again, I would simply recommend to you the highest-rated books on Amazon.jp (I found my books at my local bookstore since I was in a rush or something [must have PHP boox NOW!], but if I were to do it all over again, I would buy highly-rated books from Amazon).

And you're right. There is definitely an energy right in my chest that feels like turmoil when I can't seem to study, and feels like I'm swinging on the swings when I'm in the studying mood. I haven't figured out out to control it yet, but it's there for sure. I have my suspicions that food and diet have something to do with it. Have you any thoughts on how your diet has affected your moods? If you can come up with a Khaztumoto-diet I will try it out. Dancing to the Kanji? Yes, I will buy that, too. Lol...

I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction. I remember it saying something about not starting TOTALLY from scratch, but telling some things which should be learned as a base (such as particles, question words, pronouns, etc). Can anyone remember where that is? Thanks in advance! Hi, I have been trying to find a post from you, Khatz, to no avail. I wonder if someone could point me in the right direction.
