Used Book From Amazon Came With Bonus Material
so i took advice from that one code thread and got some books on puter science to learn things proper liek. so, found lotta texts for free and stuff online, butt also boaight a few on amazon (i liek having things in my hands). anyway, two books arrived yesterday, one unremarkable, the other, had lotta things in it for bookmarks, liek, restaurant receipt, old test, napkin (w/ notes) envelope (w/ addresses) from what seems to been a card or something. made me wonder if the book had been stolen or what the heck. seemed odd to me that someone would leave so much identifying info in one spot and then sell it online.
Anyone else ever encountered this? | ||

If you ever decide to abandon C and want to learn a previous-generation Javascript framework (ie. not Angular or React) PM me and I'll send you a copy of my book [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
But back to your book, it seems a lot more likely to me that:
... or something like that. But people rarely steal computer books, because most only sell for a few dollars, and when you factor in the time to steal and then list it on Amazon/Ebay it's easier to do honest work.

I don't plan to abandon c#, but will probably learn JavaScript at some point. feeling good about my progress and will probably learn java next (or maybe spend a bit of time on C first), followed by swift, maybe. Then maybe i learn javascript. Last few weeks been spending more my time on discreet mathematics and computing sctructures stuff than actually coding ^^; Quote:

Then I got to high school and had a Trigonometry teacher fail me even though I was going to pass with a B+, because of his policy of "do 50% of the homework or fail" (except he only collected homework sporadically and not at all for the last month of the quarter). I wound up having to re-take Trig (and later Calculus) at a community college, and then when I got to college I had to retake Calc because my community college course wasn't "Engineering Calculus" ... even though it was the same damn class. I failed that because I didn't study (I figured "I took this class once ...") and after that I was just done. Being a Literature major/Education minor required zero math classes [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
