What is the best way to use these forums?

The boards are "Cliff Notes" to the 2+2 books.

I think that they are to be used together. One without the other could work but it's way easier with both. It's so much easier to understand what the books are saying when you have unlimited help and examples.
If I had to pick one or the other, I think I'd take the boards.
