So when on an apprenticeship you didn't have some old lag to teach you? No one told you anything about it? There have been these things called books for quite some time now. I know you and Jambutty seem ancient
but I'm sure books predate both of you. The only difference then to now is that I don't have to trail to the library, look through wjhat they had, search teh index, order a particular book and wait for it to be delivered. Now I click a few buttons and the info is there. The info itself has probably chanegd very little, just the ease of access to it.
I work in an environment where I'm at the bleeding edge of web technologies. I have to research whats happening and how it works just like you did when serving your time. only thing with me is that the stuff I research is in constant flux so you can't assume stuff you learnt about it 3 weeks ago is still valid or the best practice now of how its being used.
