How do you take notes?

Question

IT education

Hello, habraman! I am a frequent visitor to sites like coursera , edxand others. And then I ran into such a problem: where to store notes? Until today, I just used different notebooks for different courses and stored all the necessary notes there, and the lectures themselves were neatly shuffled into folders on my Mac. And everything would be great, but notebooks tend to tear, they can be treacherously stolen by my dog, and so on. Well, the most important inconvenience - if the course is directly related to programming - the notebook will be very inconvenient (if you don’t rewrite the code there, then you won’t get notebooks. I’m not talking about all programs, but let’s say it would be nice to write on the topic “cycles” in the context an example of a simple program). And therefore, in fact, the question arose: where, for a person living in the 21st century, to create and how to store notes? I thought about Evernote, but in my opinion it is not so convenient. It is necessary that there be quick access to information, easy navigation, the ability to create all sorts of plates, diagrams, and so on. How do you deal with it?
Thanks in advance.
I found this article on Habré, but I want to hear more opinions.

Answer 1

Emacs + Dropbox + Org-Mode + bitbucket. This applies not only to notes,
but in general to all activities that take place: reminders of letters that should be answered;
meetings, project deadlines, links to books (on a computer) and articles (on the Internet), etc.
Well, bitbucket - if everything goes well, and all my computers are destroyed by a UFO,
then it will be possible to pull everything from there - and continue working.
Well, Emacs is suitable as an IDE ,
so you can check notes without leaving the cash register.

Answer 2

one note.
Notes, audio recording with reference to time, tables, if necessary - visio diagrams, excel spreadsheets. If I need to quickly sketch something, I take out a pressure-sensitive pen and draw directly on the laptop screen. There is co-editing and web access via free skydrive.
You can try the free trial 2013.

Answer 3

Alternatively, GoogleDocs. There you can draw diagrams-plates and fast access, and navigation)

Answer 4

I take a picture of the abstract, put it in the “study” folder, I rejoice ...

Answer 5

I use Freemind - it's enough. I sync files with google drive.
