Another excellent post @cryptographic.
While I am not into the coding arena, I am using your posts to lay out an overall learning strategy for myself. This is some amazing stuff because it really details the process we all can go through to try to shorten the learning curve for anything.
I think @yabamatt's suggestion is so true. Just get in there and do it. The same applies to any of this. I am looking for different ways to learn to give to Steemit and that rings true with me. I just need to get on there and do it...stop letting excuses get in the way.
A quick question: are websites that tie into a blockchain any different from those we have been using for the last decade or is it all the same language?
