No. I've read one of their Head First books and I can say they treat their readers like little babbies. Their "professional" books are nothing but introductory despite being titled "Mastering [Language]".

Stroboscopic contortion-assault.
Light bulb language translated into fits
Codes of tendon-flickers I can't grasp.
Focus lost as I writhe and twitch
Random beats of blinding shockwaves.
Erratic suns that twist my eyes
Flashes pounding at my thoughts as the intrinsic pains multiply
Muscle and tissue twined with every violent lash
Battered by an unrelenting shine
Immobilized by the increasing pains,
the procreating agonies of system breakdown
Lightwave frequency body-oscillation.
Undeciphered motions pass through my flesh
Bodily reverberation induced.
A corporeal system lost in its waves
Bleached into their existence by tremulous epileptic strokes
Blasts of irregular pulsar-radiation
Triggering the process of mind and body control
Lost to their control
A sentence - in flashes told
Enticed by their calls; - Insane, divine
Torn, undone, dissolved
By incandescent gods condemned
Burned. Their mark on my soul
To my inverted shadow confined
Twisted, spun. Vertebras and spinal column unaligned
Joints shattered and torn apart.
Spasm-rendered distortion
Organic spiral. Stretched and torn into a new creation
A worldless thing, a thingless word.
Lightborn malformation
I've read "Learning the vi and Vim Editors" and can recommend it if you're a beginner.

Depends from author to author but usually their books are consistent and detailed and authors have very minimal differences in style. Just stick with O'Reilly and avoid Wrox and Apress.

Do you have to get your teacher to read them to you?
>>3
I can't help feeling that this is completely relevant to this board overall.

No one cares what you think is and isn't relevant. The only thing that is obvious, is that the post >>3 is a much more interesting read than the post >>12. So fuck off with your shit.
