Kudos to who(m)ever wrote the FAQ.
I am learning so much going thru these pages!!
My question is regarding what is the best learning approach.
Am I learning well enough by reading and learning to understand the source code presented, or would i be better off trying to compile and run the code examples myself for the full effect???
Thanks for your input ahead of time
Dig in there, man!
Read it, modify it, compile it, see what happens!
You're the teacher now, make your own lesson plan.
M.I.
The best way to learn it is by actually doing it. No doubt you will go through many hours of trying to debug whatever went wrong, but it happens to everyone, even top notch programmers. Of course reading is just as important, especially when you are learning new data types, algorithms and techniques of implementation, otherwise how else will you learn?
But doing it, reinforces and speeds up your thinking processes.

The number one thing a programmer needs is experience. How to find errors and correct them. No one will write 100% code from the get-go.
Also get a decent beginners book. There is an excellent book thread on this forum which should guide you towards the best ones.
Some of them are to be avoided, anything by herb Schuilt for example. Internet tutorials are ok but they can only teach you so much. A book is much more in depth.
