On the benefits of learning in public.

While laid up with a minor but annoying medical issue over the last week, I’ve blogged more than usual. I’ve also spent some time reading through the archives here, and come to the conclusion that the best posts I’ve made – at least from my perspective – follow a similar pattern. They’re posts where I’ve been learning how to do something, or how something worked, and presented what I’ve found as a summary, often as a tutorial.

I think of these as writing the post that I wished I’d found when I started learning whatever it was.

Totally agree - some of my best blog posts are the ones where I share how I’ve been learning or what I’ve been learning. Really need to get back into blogging!

I have been procrastinating on doing a blog for so long.
I might give it a shot!

What are alternatives to blogging, to help in learning?
