I'm always pretty skeptical of anything that offers "Learn X Quick!". Is there any reason I should trust the author of this as a good source? They even state they only started learning this stuff a year ago. I wouldn't take a course or buy a book from anyone claiming only 1 year's study in any subject, why should CS be any different? edit: It's also hard to find the author's name to find out who they are. It's not in text anywhere on the page, only in the image of the book cover.

>I've learned more in this last year since I started programming over 25 years ago From the OP link. The author spent a year "filling holes" in his knowledge.

Agreed, it is hard to find the author's name. I noticed that it was by Rob Conery in one of the blurbs and that turned my skepticism to interest as I am familiar with Rob as a frequent guest and collaborator with Scott Hanselman. As a self-taught programmer (English/Classics major), I am (or was) the target audience for this book, but with deliberation have returned to school (ultimately pursuing a master's in Computer Engineering).
