This was my cue to take my exit to the back button:
Though they were programming books but they were not
written to show you the reality of what happens when you
use scp to copy file over a network. *How that scp program
looks like and Why it is so strange at 1st.* Those books
will never tell you ( in code ) that their could be
errors, their could be failures, their could be some
problem in making a connection, that, for obvious
reasons, you have to use ” -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wextra”
while working with GCC but all we learned were TURBO C
and a book on DOS 6.2 ( this shitty-book had cost me my
precious 600 rupees )I put Knuth in the same category. He
just explains, explains and explains the algorithms, with
100% Mathematics, in the most detailed manner ever done
and leaves the applications of those algorithms up to
you. They are not designed for people like me.
He would rather read a book that tells him about the possible errors that the scp program might print out instead of a Knuth book. Got it. Back to my regularly scheduled programming.
