Cyberweekly #239 - How do we learn technical skills?
cyberweekly.substack.com
My background is long and deeply nerdy. When I was a teenager, all I wanted to do was make computer games. A close friend and I spent hours on the internet reading tutorials on how to program video graphic with snippets of assembly code embedded in Pascal. We wrote incredibly simple games, like a version of breakout, maze games and simplistic clones of other popular games. I taught myself C programming, despite not understanding all the details, but online tutorials gave me a good enough base to work from. After university I got my first job, writing software of slot machines, poker tables, blackjack tables and various other gambling systems. This required a good in depth understanding of networking, as well as my self-taught C skills.
