Very well said. NOBODY can learn any *real* programming language in aing
in 48hrs.

I have been programming C for almost 6 years, and I'm still learning. Just
memorizing commands and functions isn't learning, it's memorizing!
Learning is making mistakes, figuring out what you did wrong, and fixing
it. It's also finding ways to solve problems. Anyone, if they wanted,
could memorize the common commands in Z80, but would it do them any good
if they didn't know what the commands did? No.

Memorizing commands is only 10% of learning the language, if even that
much. I doubt anyone has completly 'learned' a language. It's not
possible.  You'll always make more mistakes, and solve more problems.
