I use FCD for...
- learning programming language constructs and tricks (Python at the moment)
Front:
>>> D = dict(zip(['a', 'b', 'c'], [0, 1, 2])
>>> D
Back:
{'a': 0, 'b': 1, 'c': 2}
- reading the Bible (I create clozes and do chapter after chapter in the books I'm studying)
Front: 5 or so consecutive verses with a specific word removed.
Back: the reference of the passage and the word
Mastering Books:
I'll scan and OCR the book, then put each paragraph into FCD in order. As I read through the cards in order, I turn them into clozes and eliminate all the unnecessary stuff that I don't want to remember. This ends up being an incremental process that I end up mastering the book. It takes time, so you have to be very choosy on your material.
I probably have other decks, too, but these are the three I spend the most time doing. Writing this causes me to think I should write another post on a feature request.
Ernie is awesome!!
