21 Nested Callbacks

Re:21 Nested Callbacks by hazelcough on Tuesday March 26, 2013 @11:36PM (#5447657)

See, getting value out of Google is something that's learned over time. At the very beginning it was hard to get very far at all with just Googling and when I asked others they pointed me back to Google--some of them unhelpfully, but others showed me how to use better search terms for the subject at hand.

That helped a lot, and I don't resent them for that type of help at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way in the writing.

This is very true. Especially early on, while learning basic concepts, I found it very difficult to Google things because I did not know the terms or concepts involved. When I was attempting to self-teach my first programming language (Python), I could not understand the difference between parameters and arguments - but I didn't know that that was how to characterize my problem either. I just thought "why doesn't 'x' mean what I said it means over there?"

Thank you for posting this. I had never thought about how understanding the terminology required to Google was something that needed to be built up over time. Need to keep this in mind.
