#+title: Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal

When starting out to build a skill like programming, 3D modelling, digital art, or cooking, you can look first for expert-created resources.
For example, when starting out to 3D model, you can look for speedsculpting videos or a competition that involves many talented people in the industry.
In programming, you could look for devlogs, highly advanced competitions, fairly popular software projects, or a live coding session.
You can then store the expert resources and [[id:66337935-420c-40e6-81a6-f74ab0965ed5][Maintain your own digital library]] for future references.

The purpose of this is twofold: to serve as a solid short-term goal (as indicated by the title) and to create inspirations for your future projects.
Another purpose of this is to [[id:fdf9e3eb-02c5-47a6-b586-e71a5c92d01a][Look for live sessions as another form of examples]].

Of course, this does not entirely replace looking out for beginner-friendly resources and communities as an entryway (see [[id:f0d0198c-b523-4d71-a13c-0c578dfac3ef][Information literacy]]).
In fact, it is a bad idea to start learning with the advanced resources, just take it easy.
On the other hand, this gets you out of tutorial purgatory.

Also this could lead into actively consuming just the resources without the practice.

Update the files for convention Apparently, the convention (at least starting from 2018) is to make the keywords and block names to be in lowercase as stated from one of the following discussions at https://orgmode.org/list/87tuuw3n15.fsf@nicolasgoaziou.fr/. The files was updated with a one liner of shell. However, this is Emacs and org-mode does have an API to let you do stuff in your config and interact with the documents internally so it is not an elegant solution in any way. 2021-04-01 16:08:15 +00:00			`#+title: Refer to advanced resources when skill-building for a solid short-term goal`

Update notes about notes The review for note-related topics is going to be reduced from this point because it's time to dedicate this month for learning a new skill to put this in use. 2021-05-05 16:55:04 +00:00			`#+date_modified: "2021-05-05 23:40:29 +08:00"`

Update note-related notes Specifically about consuming information and note-taking. It is just a simple realization about those things. Quite simple but I think it is a good important reminder for my future self here. 2021-04-30 06:28:20 +00:00
