Last week I asked you how you learn when adding a new skill to your skill set and it appears that I am in the majority as along with over 40% of you I also prefer Docs and Samples.

Many of you also prefer Books followed by Video Tutorials, and Blog Entries. These four choices made up roughly 90% of the results with the other 6 choices accounting for under 10%.

To see the complete results please check here.
