Also, when I try checking out books which look potentially useful from the university library, about 70% of them have severely grammatically-challenged authors with severe spelling and logic mistakes in a good portion of their work. Also, their code is FREQUENTLY fraught with horrendous errors such as spelling and semantic errors(they will define a variable one way one place, and use it with a misspelled name throughout, for example). Of the other 30%, about 90% of them are of the beginner/useless variety, and only about 10% serve marginal use.
Public libraries (other than university)----hahahahaha---don't even have ANYTHING! (at least not where I am) | dont u hate those WROX (rocks?) books with 30-40 authors each of them writing one chapter in a book, without hardly knowing what the other authors have already mentioned.
!drives me nuts! |
