May I use the title of Stack Overflow questions as my blog post title?

Is it theoretically possible to learn Java from a series of Stack Overflow questions?

I go to Stack Overflow for more specific questions or for the questions that ask for best reference books, etc. (they are usually closed as not constructive). But can we theoretically learn programming by reading a collection of questions on Stack Overflow? I think the site has the potential. Also, has anyone ever done it?

Its equal to saying whether you will understand the whole chapter by just studying the ques & ans at the end of that chapter.

I think I would be the best practical example. I didn't learn Java, but Python. 6 months back, I didn't know anything about Python. One fine day I tried print statement, which didn't work as I expected. So, posted my first question there. I got reply within minutes and I was impressed. I just hung around the site for an hour and it was interesting. So, I started visiting the site daily. I understood the common questions and understood the answers given there. I followed http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cunningham%27s_Law and I slowly started answering the questions. Initially I had a lot of wrong answers, so I used to get a lot of downvotes and people were kind enough to let me know what was wrong. So, I corrected the answers and learnt stuff. Till today I have never read any book related to Python. Whatever knowledge I have is from Stackoverflow only. Then I found myself a nice place to meet great people. Its the Python chat room (http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/6/python). Man, awesome people. Have anything to talk about? Talk there, people don't judge you and help you with that. Sometimes the core developers of Python themselves join the chat. Now, I have 35k+ reputation there, 25k from Python. Conclusion It would take a lot of time, but you will get deeper understanding of stuff than by reading a book. If you are looking for a crash course kind of stuff, then this might not work.
