I would rather you give Mike some peace and quiet to code. He's 
not obliged to hold tuition lessons on this list. Notice that he's 
smart enough to stay out of all the low-quality discussions that 
has been going round-and-round-and-round...

Go Google a bit and you'll learn a lot. Older folks invest the 
time and effort (and a lot of it) -- younger folks should learn 
not to expect instant results. We've all been spoilt rotten by all 
the cheap and cool and powerful gadgets thanks to the marvels of 
mass production.

Expert skills don't come easy. Yes, we can tell you bits and 
pieces here and there, but you'll just end up with bits and pieces 
and that's a very poor substitute for real expertise. Better to 
learn it properly.
