As I get into some more complicated sections, it's becoming clear that the piece-meal way I'm posting this may not be the best for readers. I'm considering holding off on posting more until I've completed the tutorial section, so that I can edit it as a whole and better optimize the order than information is presented. If I go that route it'll probably be a month before new content goes up.

Edit: I would still wait a few days between sections, so people aren't bombarded with a lot of information at once.

Anyone have strong opinions on that, one way or another?

I like the piece-meal way because:

  • It gives me longer to digest each idea.
  • Since I tend to go back and skim earlier entries in sequences like this when a new one comes out, more frequent updates indirectly tend to improve my retention.
  • If I stop reading in the middle of a huge long article, I'm less likely to pick it back up again later. With short articles, I'm more likely to get it properly finished before I get interrupted or distracted by something else.

In this scenario, I would still be posting them as individual articles, I'd just wait until I had complete more of them and looked at how they worked together. (Probably post them a day apart or so)
