2,270 PointsShould i do the tracks or just plough through the libary of the language i want to learn?
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if it's better to do tracks example ruby or php or go into the library and just go through it all.
Thanks Cameron

I also do a lot of hoping around, sometimes I'm not in the mood focus on a specific topic, so I learn a new subject to shake it up a bit and it keeps things interesting.
