Subject | st: documentation Stata tips : any wrong with counting on googling? |
Date | Fri, 2 Apr 2010 13:32:29 -0400 |
Dear Statalist, Sorry that my question is not directly about using Stata. I was wondering if anyone could give some suggestion on how to efficiently take notes or document the tips of using Stata. I used to use the traditional way that I learned from elementary school : When I found some Stata tips are useful, I copied and pasted or typed them in a word file for use in the future. But then I notice when I want to find out how to deal with a particular problem, usually it is faster to simply google it than to check it in the "Stata tips" file. Therefore, I would like to know if someone could give me some suggestions on documentation the Stata tips or introduce his/her practices for this. In addition, Is there any severe disadvantage of counting on the googling way? Thank you!
