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).
