It's a fantastic reference guide; if I can't remember what order the inputs to that one function go in, it's my first resort. But I prefer to read paper for learning theory, and I find it more useful to flip through pages trying to find something I half remember than to click through links. Put simply, I like to learn the basics from books rather than web pages. -Andy
