On your website, after about two scrolls, I didn't want to keep going. Also maybe make the font a little thicker/bolder. Good luck.
couldn't agree more.
i am currently in college, and i have to take 3 engineering electives (classes, outside of my engineering major), 2 social science electives, and i get to take 3 "any/free" electives.
one could make an argument that it broadens the educational experience or whatever, but from experience, half these classes are BS, and almost all of these just suck up a lot of time, which could be better spent focusing on one's chosen field of study/ or other interests.

would you recommend a DIY approach to learning the basics, or is it essential to learn it from someone who already knows it ?
thanks.
Also, that removes the temptation/ or means to go back to your old profile for which you will manually have to re-add all your friends.
