They do that to justify their innate insecurities and incapabilities. The best teachers urge you on. They dont spoonfed, but they show you the right way of doing things (right sensei botp? ) . 4.

There a few good and updated ones (well 2 > years ago. hehe). Correct. But also, dont scrimp on really good books - even second hand books will do. I still have my old books on Unix, Unixware, C/C++ and Assembly, HTML3.5 (15+ years old books!). And not only books. Buy also old tech magazines. You'll never know the treasures that you'll find in them (Dr. Dobbs Journal, etc..) And most of all, _ask questions_ . Do not pretend that you understand what was discussed (para lang ingnon bright, or looking intelligent). What ever is not clear, ask about it. It will help out in the long run, and it will contribute to your self confidence in being able to talk in front of a lot of people, plus being able to voice out your opinions too. -- Part-time SysAd, full-time Dad, part-time netNinja CNS, ACFE, FOSS Advocate and Consultant Registered Linux User #400165 http://www.rm2media.net http://baudizm.blogsome.com http://linuxblazon.wordpress.com http://3x-comic.blogspot.com (NEW!)
