Do you want to lose weight and learn IT on your own? Ask me how.

Posted on

There is an opinion I often encounter — that it's impossible to learn independently; you need professionals to guide you along this thorny path — to explain, check, and control.

History has examples of great autodidacts (or simply, self-taught individuals): archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann (1822–1890) or […]
