After reading the first few bits in the "beginner" section, this reminds me of my experience with "Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go" by Kageyama Toshiro 7p [0] (Go the game). It's a terrific book where he stresses the fundamentals even if you feel like you're above it. I read the book cover-to-cover many times at different stages of my life as a go player, each time learning something new.
The book starts on ladders, a pretty basic concept that I teach to beginners within 15 minutes or so of learning the rules. [1]
Still on ladders? Ridiculous! Even looking at this page is beneath me.
Yes, but even if you feel you are being cheated, read on a little further.
Don't forget the fundamentals. Our study begins with ladders.
Ugh. It's like Slashdot with its interface where you need to hover. How do do you hover on a mobile? I don't visit Slashdot much any more, because most of my surfing is on mobile. And I won't be scrolling little windows of monospaced text left and right, left and right, over and over, any time soon.
Scrollbars are invisible in my mobile browser until I scroll the box. It just looks like a badly-formatted quote. Something to keep in mind if you're a ddveloper.
