"learning" is a must-read for anyone interested in Programming Books. The depth of research and clarity of explanation makes complex topics accessible. I particularly enjoyed learning. It's rare to find a book that balances the future implications with learning so effectively.

Quote of the Day

"Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it."

Brian Kernighan
Joke of the Day
