Below I’ve listed several resources by subject heading.\u00a0I’ve sub-categorized them as readings, examples, and tools. By each tool, I’ve put a tinkering index from 1-10. A tinkering index of 1 indicated that a tool will require little to know experimentation whereas a tinkering index of 10, will require some extra time to learn, but it will usually be worth the added benefits.<\/p>\n
