In the pragmatic world where you're working on a project, for a living, to a time schedule, then learning from other people's mistakes is less time consuming than creating your own mistakes, recognise that they are mistakes and then learn from them. Of course if you invoke your "it's only for fun" defence then pragmatism wouldn't come into it and whatever you do or don't do doesn't really matter. > Since not all paths lead to the same conclusion it is just > as possible that if he doesn't go down this path that he will never > create a kickass framework no matter how many frameworks he studies.

I'm sure most people on the list aren't looking to make revolutionary advances in php programming. Most are simply looking for practical answers to practical questions. -- Crayon
