Flashcards on iPad Primer Tutorial
There are a few “themes” to today’s iPad blog posting …
- introducing, at least for this blog, the concept of learning via flashcards
- screenshotting on iPad via Home button + Power button synchronous presses
- publishing those screenshots via Photos app Share functionality “Save PDF to iBooks”
- in iBooks app email Share that published PDF book
- in Mail app with that email Attachment use Share option “Import via FTPManager” to send it to RJM Programming website
- display that “stream of consciousness” view of “Brainscape Smart Flashcards” introductory view as this PDF slideshow to hopefully put all this into context for you reading this
So, as you can see, we are dipping our feet into the world of learning by flashcards, as a way to get our brains, perhaps, memorising concepts as you learn the concept, we all hope. We found the excellent Brainscape Smart Flashcards by searching for “Flashcards” in the Apple Store, and picking it via recommendation numbers. We understand one of the world leaders in software in this field is Alki, and we may explore a bit of that at a later date, but for today we registered with Brainscape and saw that it had great resources in so many study areas, ours being a very introductory Music Theory course.
We hope you enjoy the Flashcards concept and PDF slideshow “stream of consciousness” presentation today. Guess a thing to take away from all this is that you can be up and studying/learning/memorising within minutes on your mobile device.
Did you know?
Did you notice today’s PDF slideshow Url …

… equating to a PDF file name involving a space character, which is represented by the “%20” bit of the Url? In other words, on a Linux web server, spaces in filenames can be managed this way. Curiously, way back when, DOS and early Windows, couldn’t handle these spaces in filenames, but that stopped being a restriction a long time ago now. I’d say though, especially with Linux filenames of files that will eventually be referenced by Url it is not encouraged to involve filenames containing spaces, by convention.
If this was interesting you may be interested in this too.
