I’m on a similar track. Web/java background and started doing some tutorials and aoc, currently working on the the same ray tracer challenge book (it’s awesome). Not sure what a next step would be, maybe that one book where you implement a web browser or some raspberry pi project. Any recommendations?
Other than some interesting themes and anecdotes, I’d be very careful to draw any conclusions based on the survey.
There are many intuitive reasons why unsuccessfully unschooled people would not answer this survey.
A huge concern with unschooling is lack of social development, and the respondents are found through social networks.
In the worst case, suicide would prevent someone from answering the survey.
The title is misleading because the survey can’t possibly answer the question with a survey like this, and without addressing the issue of equal opportunity, which might be the biggest factor when designing education.
I think this guide is great! If we want people to use clojure we can’t impose emacs on them too. This guide introduces clojure from where most developers are at.
I enjoy and support the systems mentioned in the article, but the right to unpaid leave was used by Daniel Ek, Markus Persson or Niklas Zennström as far as I know.
You guys need to raise your expectations.
