I think you make a good point about starting small and keeping it up for an extended period of time along with progress measurement along the way. For me personally,I am looking to change health habits. But while I was thinking about that

May be I am being a typical engineer, but looks like sales and marketing, as usual, work in a 'vacuum' and as a result the impact to the overall outcome can be somewhat negative. while the course might be successfull (read it made

Personally I feel I know java from J2EE/2004-5 days After that I have been doing more non tech work then tech work. As a example I missed out on annotations, and everything after that. While I do know what annotations and generics etc

Completely agree with your question. I think if the author can't explain it conceptually in a chapter or two may be the author dosnt know it really well or should employ a ghost writer

Yes its the 'more is better' mentality. but its a crude one at best. When applied to text media its stupid because I would pay somebody to summarize things for me, instead we are paying people for long unsummarized content that w

1. I guess why did node.js happen. Was the developer just trying to showcase his skills and did it for fun, and then went viral. And now everybody else is just doing that. To me then *.js are nothing more than a fad. 2. Reasonable. 3. Php i
