Learning as you go, bits and pieces as needed at the moment seems to be more effective, than learning ahead at random, hoping to remember the needed details, and unless my experience is non-typical, most persons, having benefitted from a forum where they can voice their questions, will return the favor to next fellow who needs some help.
