Just wanted to say something about action and reaction or something like that

Action is x10 more worth than theory , or even more!

So while you sit there and look what Nick is doing , or any other teacher, and u think u will be able to do it, even tho i actually might, action is worth more than theory.

If you go throw all this videos, and learn about them, but actually never write a single line of code, and theres a guy that never watched this videos, but he writes code , he takes action, which do you think will be more successful? The first or the second person?

The second person . Because he takes action, u might know what hes doing etc.. but you dont have anything to show off the word to give value , he might not know what you do , but he can get an idea of understanding if you know what i mean.

Hope this helps.

You mean get your hands dirty. But you can always copy and paste code snipplets. Than manipulate it.

Well, it doesnt only apply into programming, but id rather say in anythiing we do . Coping and pasting is allrigth once u can do it. Once you know how it worsk, you will want to use a CSS framework to not waste time, yet knowing how it works in a case where it will need the knowledge etc..

Also, starting by pure things, i mean, not using framewokrs, at the end , you want to be the best , or at least i believe so .

Wheres action, theres reaction . If you just watch , or study , anything, not only porgramming, theere want to be reaction, you must take action, do somethiing, get hands dirty .
