![]() I still use the same workflow outlined here, granted now when I take course notes I just use screencaps of my visual studio code editor. It took me a while to adjust to using dynalist, its one of those apps where you don’t really appreciate until you’ve used it for 2-3 months and tried every other alternative software out there.Īlso, dynalist is free but I highly recommend getting the PRO version ($50/year) just so you can get a file uploader and automatic backups into dropbox. I just covered the ones I use the most often when taking course notes + programming. I only mentioned about 50% of the features listed in this post and my blog. This tends to happen all the time when I take course notes, since I contextually have no idea how the lecturer organizes their notes until after the fact.Īnyways, dynalist is very powerful. poorly formatted notes), I just collapse them from view so I no longer see it and rewrite those notes over again. Working with multiple word docs becomes a huge pain to manage as well.Īnother good thing I like about dynalist, is that if I don’t like some notes I added ( e.g. Searching in onenote doesn’t give many contextual clues either, the whole search area is only a small window at the topright. It also has very loose formatting rules that sounds great on paper (can format any type of notes) but becomes a huge mess when you scale things upwards. Onenote kind of suffers in that it takes far too long to navigate around documents. I’ve been a long time user of both evernote and onenote and also have read many books / videos on these topics, but I found both of them to be lacking and overshadowed by newer generation of notetaking apps Sometimes the best solutions and answers / templates are found only on stackoverflow, or some other site, and this helps that I can consolidate / organize / view my information in any way I want Also, the MSDN website (microsoft docuemntation) is one of the worst-looking user-unfriendly sites out there, so its imperative I have my own manual Its full of code snippets, examples, and best reference manuals I’ve collected from a variety of sources.Įxcel is a good example of this since a lot of documentation is really old, hard to look at (a lot of authoritative websites in these topics still look like websites from the 90’s), or outdated so this gives me a better manual than anything else I find online. This way I can 100% rely on every note on here My rule of thumb is I validate every piece of code snippet that goes into my dynalist This is what I use as my ongoing excel VBA / Visual Basic cookbook for work related things I use a black document whenever I write a pure reference manual, normally I combine 2-3 courses of material and duplicate parts of it into a new cheatsheet I call them “living notes” because of the gifsĪlso, I can stylize different documents with CSS. I can even put images next to each other in the form of an image gallery. I’m learning bootstrap 4 in atm so its really heavy on gifs and images in it. Its also nice because I can take any flavor of notes as well. ![]() If you do any development in general (professional or at the noob level like me), you can see the value in a universal search parameter ofr all your code regardless of where its at, since its all in dynalist.ĭon’t need to worry about searching through 2 different repos in github (not possible really), or git clone and using an IDE with some extensions to handle this sort of search query, or porting over notes on different PCs, etcĪlso, I do lots of excel VBA stuff for work and its got a pretty crappy method of debugging / saving code, so this comes in handy when using dynalist to do almost git-style version control What’s nice about this app especially when using its search features, is I normally dump both my code snippets + my full github repos + freecodecamp solutions sometimes in here. Constantly refresh back to those notes so there solid reference material.Immediately start applying those notes to algorithm challenges/ quizes/ projects.Rush through topics that explain things like how jQuery works or how bootstrap works. ![]() Basically, the way I do my approach to learning is the following when using this style of notetaking + all its features it has
