contrasts

 I think I've mentioned both Dan Gelbart and Tim Hunchin in these pages.  

It occurs to me this morning that both will show you good ideas and both will teach important concepts.

 But Dan is coming at things from a "concepts taken to their logical conclusion" point of view.  Dan's way is how you do things when price is no object, and the goals alone define the scope - and limits - of your  work.

 Tim is coming at things from a "deadline is Thursday and the budget is five quid" point of view.  Tim's way is how you do things on a very low budget, in a hurry.

 They are polar opposites, really, and in my opinion, both viewpoints are worth studying.  In practice, you are likely to find yourself somewhere in the middle.  Probably.
