I have never picked up a software dev book and used it to learn development, mostly just learned by doing. I was curious though, how do most of you read these things? Do you practice while reading, or can I take my iPad to a secluded area and just read my way through it? Any response would be appreciate, thanks!

#33You mean the guy who thinks you should email yourself your passwords to store them safely?
The funny thing is that many sites does password reset via email anyway.

The method that works for me:
1. Give the book a quick read. Essentially just to know what it covered and how the book approaches/covers the topics you are interested in.
2. Now that you know what the book covers and have a fuzzy idea about it, go straight to the section that concerns you most as the need arrises.

#35I cannot possibly imagine what anyone would ever have to learn from such a fantastically incompetent failure. There's a reason it says (Coding Horror) up there. He's a horrible programmer, and a horrible if mysteriously successful blogger.

#36100% of Jeff's posts are must reads. You'll agree with some, disagree with others, but all of them make you think. Worth twice the $0 cost!!!

Yeah. This should be awesome.
twice the $0 also means $0 too.

You still can buy it for the kindle pc app. Then, with Calibre, you can remove the DRM and convert it to epub or whatever format is suitable for the nook.
> Simultaneous Device Usage: Unlimited There is no DRM on this book, luckily enough.
But its still in Amazon's ebook format. Calibre allows you to convert it to something a Nook can read.

#40Yeah, learn effective programming by a guy who obviously has no idea what he is talking about ...
Why is this idiot still getting publicity?
