The PragProg folks have a new book that includes exercises and looks very promising as an introductory material. It's available in beta state and apparently about to be finished: h…

It took me years to notice a flaw in this approach: it's based in the premise that everyone has time for side projects. From that point I think about it as a bias. Nowadays I try t…
