There are plenty of books that promise to Learn you some Java in 21 days and leave you with — 21 days worth of Java. This is not one of those books.
I’m turned on by learning cool stuff, and by coding cool stuff. Maybe you are too. I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to spend decades coding cool stuff. And when I wasn’t doing that, I was teaching people how to code cool stuff. And when I wasn’t doing that, I was helping teams and startups to work together to code cool stuff and enjoy themselves doing it. And I’ve enjoyed every bit of it.
There’s a fuck-ton of great authors out there who know a whole lot more than I do. They’ll tell you how to think, how to cultivate the proper mindset to maximize your chances to achieve success.
