I like buying books because I like to read in bed while lying down. Try doing that with a laptop.;) It's much easier for me to learn a language or technology by reading books than shuffling around all over the web. I find the web very inconsistent and time consuming when trying to learn something that has some depth.
If any of you have ever tried to find guitar chords or tablature for specific songs, you know what I mean. Coming from a guy who has played guitar for 20 years, I guarantee that 98% of the guitar chords for popular songs on the Internet are completely wrong. It's just a big waste of time trying to find the one or two sites that might get some of the songs right.
I feel the same way about technology. I look for the books that people swear by and go with it. On the other hand, I usually don't need many. One popular book with some examples and references is all I need, then it's just practice.
I don't care what kind of a degree someone has... or where it's from. A high education doesn't necessarily mean that you're more innovative than someone with a lesser education. In fact, some people believe that being taught a set of rules may block one from being innovative.
True innovations comes from dreamers who believe that "anything" is possible. But to be able to make that dream come true, you may need the skill that's required to make it happen.
