When I do have time to do this, get a lot out of it. But it also means I end up reading far fewer programming books these days as other responsibilities in life have caught up with me
I am curious whether many other people here do the same. Do you type out every code example when reading programming books, or at least read them near a computer? Or do you just read them like any other piece of non-fiction and try to understand what the code is doing without running it?

I often type example code meant to illustrate a concept or technique in a different language, PHP when the example is in Perk, say, or use SQLite instead of MySQL. Thank s opposed to examples meant to illustrate a particular language's syntax or features. C doesn't have channels, bash doesn't have pointers.
