Many technicians like to read blog, including me now. I would also like to find this technical tomes to chew and rewarding. Sometimes the network will see some people would say, take the time to read technical books ...... Read harm blog is not easy knowledge into the system. In fact, I was opposed to this view. Here is that my thoughts.
What are the characteristics of technical books is that? Content is system (some books, content is also very detailed). Take "C Primer Plus" for example. Contents of the book from the first page until the last, all around the C language. C data types, statements, functions, structures, pointers, and so on, a series of themes are put into a book.
In contrast, the blog, it might just generally a blog around a sub-theme of the book (such as pointers) to be discussed. If you look at such a blog, called surprising knowledge system is not broken.
In fact, we do not try to turn the book as a "book." In fact, a technical book can also be used as a Big "blog" set through the system tissue . Well, you might have thought, for learning a topic, such as C, is not just to know which topics need to learn, then go to a better quality blog read like based on these topics? Yes, I just think so. Not to say that it means you can not read the blog to build a system of knowledge, the system read blog can build a complete knowledge system, as long as you know the "road map" (to build knowledge, learning content needed) is.
So, how to find this "road map"? One way is to use a search engine, look up some technical knowledge of others finishing. Or, a more reliable way is to find a related topic you want to learn the books, for example, you want to learn C, to find a "C Primer Plus", and then turn its catalog to see what content. This directory is the "road map." So you have a "road map", now you only need to read it in accordance with the "road map" to find blog. Of course, technical books now be treated as a blog set, you can also review. You want to learn pointers in C, you can directly check online good quality blog, you can also directly check the corresponding part of the technical book.
But this book as the technology blog method has its limitations. There are a lot of technical books, is more interested in ideological classes, you need to read to understand the author's ideas, such books generally try to read the whole of. But not to say that not as a blog to "check." In short, to be flexible.
