Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

At the end of the fourth section the author/lecturer claims that since great writers never took creative writing classes, people can't take programming classes and become better programmers. He claims years of experience to back up his assertion. So, then, the idea that this book or lecture series is about learning to learn is nonsense. You either are good at something or not, according to this book. Aside from casually insulting its most likely readers the book reads like a self-important monologue and contains information that is outdated by decades. Pointless drivel about the history of computing, with which practically any aspiring engineer would already have a passing familiarity. Do not bother.
