Gives me headaches.
I'm taking JavaScript this semester (along with Java II, and a DB Design class). The JS teacher uses the same format for all his classes, and I have never liked that format since the first class I had with him. He doesn't use a book, he has his website where he's typed up his own book (essentially).
I found the way he explains things, and the examples he uses, aren't that helpful & at times cause things to be overly confusing. I knew that coming into this class, and instead of buying a good book that would help me, I decided to save the coin & take my chances just using his site. Bad idea. I know there are tons of resources on the web, but I've found that I do better with a real book.
I went from really wanting to learn JS, to not looking forward to learning JS at all.
