This book is great. Well written, and cheap. I bought it for a dollar.
Writing software in the 21st century sucks, but at least I don't have to be writing Cobol like some poor schmuck (you know you're out there). Actually, if I was working in Cobol, my life would be better. First of all it was designed for morons, designed to be used by morons, and I'm sure the billions of lines are -- well -- moronic. But most imporantly, its the Common BUSINESS-Oriented language (COBOL). I'm sure I'd get paid better than I would for writing in the Common Non-Profit Oriented language (CONPOL) that I work in now.
