        I have had my copy so long I can't even remember when I acquired it. It had neither of the covers in your illustrations.

        I'm really not sure but I may have mine for some 20 years, give or take 5 or so years.

          You didn't give me any advice. I also don't really know who you are so you're kind of useless.

                Programming language-specific books are almost always a waste of time. Not as much of a waste of time as a degree in "IT Security", but just about.

                    I'm well aware of how to find any book I want Riesstiu. I've downloaded gigabytes of programming books before. Most of them suck. That's why I'm asking for specific books from people since it saves time rather than trying to find decent books by trial and error.

                      Learn to play a musical instrument.

                      If you already play - practice more.

                        Wine: Wine for Dummies is a pretty good grounding. There's an edition that comes with a load of the specific wine region books included as well. http://www.amazon.com/Wine-All---One...0180578&sr=8-2

                          Ok thanks.

                          Wezil, I plan to learn a musical instrument but that's a long term goal. They're expensive and very time consuming. I'm looking at either the Cello or Piano.
