It is almost as if there is a law of geek nature that says 'For every evangelist there must be a troll...' It is hard to appreciate the useful content when combined with gratuitous attacks.

I agree about the eye-roll, although in my case I tend to do that when the subject is Facebook without regard to content. What I'm really curious about and I mean no offense here is whether or not you last sentence is self-referential?

Same advice excepting location--- I'd suggest Ireland instead, hide out until the world stabilizes (if it ever does).

Two things to remember here: Sturgeon's Law--- 90% of everything is crap as applied to books and as a beginner who are you to distinguish? The second thing regarding classes is that teachers like everyone else all hang out on a bell curve,

As a Perl programmer, contributions to open source (CPAN) are a plus rather than a minus. Even with code that is not of general use (mine parses chess games) such things generally add to managements estimation of your worth--- at least up t

Secret to understanding/using LaTeX is to have at hand two books: Guide to LaTeX by Kopka and Daly, and The LaTeX Companion by Mittelbach and Goossens. That plus a project to publish (similar to have a task you want to program) should be en
