I feel that blogging not only helps a developer better articulate and remember what they are learning, but it also helps others as well. I do not know if it's just me, but I have a hard time remembering things nowadays, especially with the amount of different things a developer has to deal with. In this context a blog can also serve as a developers notebook, containing solved problems and such stuff for later reference. Nice article, I also agree with James about blogging.

Being a 'Let me try it first' and 'Code by Example' developer myself I agree with your points on trying the example apps. I have also made my own blog about my learnings (at the time it was GWT integration with Hibernate) and made a quick tutorial which has really cleared up my understanding and does seem to be used quite a lot. Once people have understood a framework I would encourage them to blog about it, if only because its nice to help people :D Eggsy Hi there,
