OK fair enough, I can only speak for myself and the way I learn concepts. The way I learn a new language or platform is always to try to write a real program that does something. I am only able to lean concepts when I can see their usefulness. But I should recognize that other people learn in different ways.

I want to add that I actually do see how it comes across as condescending. After this exchange and thinking about what you wrote. idk, like, “Here, look at these kiddie pictures, those are suitable for you, and then I’ll withhold the real work ok?”
