Dear Typographers
You the ones who master curves and points
The ones who dream about those same curves, and pixels and print.
Can you tell me where can I sharpen my bezier knowledge?
The one who want to design perfect letters and icons
Best wishes

If you’re using Robofont, one tool that could be very helpful for beginners is Glyph Nanny.
Also, Nina Stössinger recently linked to a few resources on vectorizing letters that could be useful for learning bezier best practices.
Does the same principles of robofont applies across different kinds of 'curve editing' software? Thinking Adobe illustrator or Bohemian Coding Sketch?

Generally, yes.
He also records his type making exercises using FontLab Studio 5 — watching it is very informative: https://www.youtube.com/user/thescannerlicker/
(Looks like Typedrawers doesn't let me link to a YouTube user, not sure why. If the link above doesn't work, go to YouTube and search for "thescannerlicker").
