Recently, I had a presentation about Managed DirectX. I knew that people that I was supposed to speak for them have no background on this matter; ergo I organized my notes to be comprehensible for them.
During the process I realized that I’m learning new thing and finding answer for some of my own questions about DirectX.
After some thought on this happening I ended up with this:
If you want to deepen your leanings about some concept try to describe it to someone else that knows nothing about it – even a virtual one in your mind. That person questions you about many trivial things that you consider obvious, but when you try to explain them you see that it’s not that obvious. So you should find some concrete answer for them. This way you find some tiny bits and pieces of information that tie all information about that concept together and make it a whole. Also you may detect some relationship between this concept and some other concepts that may be useful to know.
If you can’t explain something to a six-year old, you really don’t understand it yourself.
—Albert Einstein
