In this particular course, some videos were heavier than 800 Mb.


Iv'e been researching these kind of educational and cognitive topics for some time and it's quite obvious that writing code and writing fiction or non-fiction narratives are cognitively different tasks. However, further scientific research is necessary to obtain evidence whether or not retyping narrative (or even code, I might argue) is a good method.

This is the only article I know of someone using this method in narrative: http://www.publicationcoach.com/how-to-use-deliberate-practi... .

It's unfortunate the article is scientifically suspicious.


Cognitively speaking handwriting and typing are different tasks and thus have different results on the learning process, which may or may not vary individually.

I think the best method to learn coding highly depends on the learning style of the person.
