Oh sorry I didn't mean to imply any of it is useless. It's just, the more information you dump on someone in one go, the more overwhelming it is for them. Whereas if you can find a way to just give them the absolute essentials, then add more context later, it's less work for them to understand and they're less likely to be put off whatever the thing is you're trying to educate them on.

Hope I'm making sense!

no worries! right now im just grabbing the links as I see them (quick skim style) def down for some help to organize it a bit. I do agree a top 5 or 10 is a good idea with a link back here
