Learning in the Terminal

Hi there,

I have been doing some touch typing training with gtypist, and was wondering what other nice tools there is on the terminal.

I went trough the vimtutor, and at some point I also did some ruby koan which was really fun and nice. I'd love to do more of these training in the terminal as it is more enjoyable and relaxing somehow ~ Any tricks to share?

Re: Learning in the Terminal

You could give emacs a go.

You could learn some Python.
Python > http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

I, like you, find reading in the CLI more relaxing as well so I use lynx (whatever-floats-you-boat-text-web-browser) 

lynx http://docs.python.org/tutorial/

The good thing being that most hacky/wiki/tutorial like  websites are usually in pretty basic format.

I also keep a bookmarks directory where I save tutorials, wikis, websites, etc. for offline reading.
