Funny enough when I read = the 2 comments on amazon.de the critics were rather bad and didn't recommen= d it. The biggest problem I have with all this stuff is that I best understand ab= stract problems when they are represented visually. One example was recursi= on. 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 withi= n seconds. Ok I can make a drawing myself but that doesn't mean that it is actuall cor= rect. 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 pr= oblems and then still having the motivation to help some noob with his sill= y question :) Many thanks Laurent
