Typing Web Typing Tutor

While writing a script or some code, I find myself typing slower and slower each time. I usually have to glance down at the keyboard to make sure my fingers are on the right keys just so I don’t make any errors. After a while I started to feel like I needed to get some more practice with typing. I was recommended an application called “Typing Web” which was a free to use typing tutor. What this application is supposed to do is help the user to type quickly and more efficiently so that productivity can be increased. To achieve this, it uses the high school method of teaching. Makes you look at the screen and cover your keyboard and start typing. Sounds simple enough. Of course you could always look down and cheat, but that’s where you have to learn self-control and not do that.

What My Study Life does is work like a calendar application allowing you to plan out your days, weeks, months, and years. This can make planning ahead a lot easier than trying to remember. But before we go into full detail of everything this app has to offer, I would like to mention that the interface looks amazing. It’s clean and simple, and shares a close resemblance to the Windows Metro interface, which for those who don’t know it is the Windows 8 interface. With this clean design it makes it more user friendly so that anyone can learn how to use it quickly.
