yeah, if you have a problem during coding and look for a quick solution ebooks and google are good, but if you want to learn a language from the start nothing beats a real book....might sound funny but I enjoy to read my favorite Linux reference book in bed...cats wrote:Go to your local book store and get a big old book about it ^^
the ones from Addison-Wesley and Open Source Library are my recommendation. best check for an online bookstore that sells slightly damaged books (you can find ads from them in Linux magazines for example)...my Linux book usually goes for 59,95 Euro, the one I got has just a little scratch on the cover (it's still brand new, not 2nd hand!) and was sold for 9,95 Euro...

my library is bigger than your library
I think reading a book takes more discipline than searching for the answer on google. Even most e-books are not as detailed as a 'Networking in a Nutshell' book. To actually say you read a book, you had to read it front to back, some times you had to study parts of it over and over. Those that got comfortable with books were the smart ones in school. Remember if it wasn't in a book - it never happened, facts and statistics only became truth when it was printed. (figuratively speaking, but true!) Back in the old days, one could justify their wisdom by the size of their library.
I had books everywhere in my warehouse, some books you would save and reference later, some books you read once and shoot 'em up (literally, with pistols). Some books lost value as the OS or version became obsolete. Some books got loaned out, never returned, some books got damaged, or lost. I stole books when I could not afford them, which was most of the time. Then there was the time I walked in to a military armory and walked out with arm-loads of manuals (family visiting day!) In several moves, I had to trim down my library. I kept only the best, and some ok ones like Hacking Exposed I hope one day to set up a proper bookshelf and put them back on display.
The next thing to do, is to write.

One thing you should not do is read the book like a story...
As soon as you finish a chapter, get on your computer and try what you've just learn. It's the best way to practice and actually learn what you've just read.
Later on, come some little project. If you need any ideas for project msg me or any of th staff members... we have a bunch of ideas
