Thanks for the second mention @freemo ! My updates' been a bit slow recently but your mention has given me a nice kick.

I've been spending the last two days experimenting with incremental reading strategies. Trialing and erroring many things at the moment. I was gonna write one big article about my conclusion but I think I'll write one method at a time. This is going to be a long ride.

Clashed with my music jam night but I hope it goes well! Maybe I can come to another meetup.

I'm going through CSS: The Definitive Guide by O'Reilly, published in 2017 and I got this along with other O'Reilly books from a humble bundle back in Nov 2017. I'm using an incremental reading method to go through this book. O'Reilly really live up to their reputation for being awesome compsci books - I finished first chapter and it covered even the most obscure ways of doing things, such as linking stylesheets from Apache .htaccess. O'Reilly is well worth the money especially if you see any special bundle sales.

I've been lurking your toots and likewise, you saved my ideal self.

It was indeed a bit too much to digest at a time lol. I think the good break off point tonight would have been $_REQUEST and $_SESSION player name, then leave the non-repeat questions and score-keeping as homework. The live code explanation is definitely invaluable though.

Thank you @neil for another session of live php coding. I enjoyed watching the examples done live and you explaining along the way. A lot of things made more sense than just reading the docs.

Mental health should have been the main focus, but it seems like we need more time for that awareness to come to light.

Feeling very lazy today after handing in my assignment yesterday. Just bought the music making humble bundle. Eating a banana. Waiting for tea to brew. And yourself?
