I have bought the 2nd edition as ebook yesterday. Funny enough when I read the 2 comments on amazon.de the critics were rather bad and didn't recommend it.

The biggest problem I have with all this stuff is that I best understand abstract problems when they are represented visually. One example was recursion. When I read about it the text didn't make any sense to me. When I then looked at the animation in the wikipedia it answered all my questions within seconds.

Ok I can make a drawing myself but that doesn't mean that it is actuall correct. That's why I'd prefer to talk/listen to some real person. I am quite happy with the help I get on this forum but I have sometimes the impression that my question was/is not interpreted the way I actually meant it to be.

You guys have my greatest respect. Working all day long, having your own problems and then still having the motivation to help some noob with his silly question :)

Many thanks

Laurent
