Understanding Building Code

[Gabe Goudreau]

Hello BP Community, 

I am planning on obtaining my residential builder's license over the winter, so I can leverage that skill and license in real estate projects and eventually venture into the development business. I am curious about what the best way to go about understanding/learning code is. I've been reading my city's code book, but are there any other methods to learn code in a specific area other than just reading the code book?
