I’m planning on teaching myself a programming language (probably Python, via LPTHW) and I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on whether Anki would be helpful in this endeavor. Normally, I’d just go ahead and do it, but some of my friends who know how to code said it wouldn’t be helpful, even though they were hesitant to give reasons when pushed.

I linked 3 pages by programmers on using spaced repetition in http://www.gwern.net/Spaced%20repetition#external-links which you might find helpful.
Terrific, thanks!
