sde is on a distinguished road
there is a big difference between a book that is well written for the specific reader, and otherwise.

i don't read programming books from cover to cover, .. but use them more as a reference, or if i'm learning a brand new language, then as a guidline on the order in which to approach things.

afterall, this is programming and nothing like learning guitar, if you can't follow a chapter or project in a book, then it's going to be difficult to follow online tutorials, API documentation, and other detailed documentation when you go to program.

just my line of thinking .. i know there are other views.
