Couldn't agree more. Despite going to University, I consider myself entirely self-taught and I continue that way to this day. It's honestly scary to see how easy it would be for a new learner to be pulled down the wrong path by the inexperienced so-called experts offering cheap advice -- so much so, I wonder if that would have derailed my learning had I started today.

That said, I'm continually learning too. My approach is always to go direct to the source. Figure out what I want to learn and go directly there. Read the docs and look at the examples. Find small, focused tutorials when I know what I'm stuck on. Maybe this approach will work for others too, but everyone is different.
