>It's probably my mathematical background that always pushes me to know the why, not only how. I have noticed this "this is the way you do it and don't ask why" approach in engineering studies; they even may know more maths than I've learned (well, in some areas), but most of them never had the time nor the inclination to look behind the curtains. That's why some of them end up knowing a way to do something, but that wouldn't do in Fox - it's at least three ways, or no way :)

I only learn when I'm shown how/why something works. I'm glad I had a few excellent teachers back in college when I was studying computer science.

Funny, though, the teachers I liked because I really could learn with them, where hated by other students because they said they were "too hard"...

I feel sorry for the other students - they have no idea what they missed!
