I was hesitant about what yall were saying and was going to ask for examples, but I'm going to return it just because of pic related.

I see. Unfortunately it looks like those books are pretty expensive nowadays, so I'm going to stick to what I got. Soubt I'm missing out on much. Also, I typically don't do the written exercises in programming books unless I genuinely don't understand the concept being discussed, I'll just develop a program as I'm reading to book and immediately integrate concepts into new functionality.

Yeah. I need to lock in on the book for a chapter, then lock in on my IDE as I make sense of what I read and implement it, and only take quick peeks at the book as needed. Part of it is that when I read very dense texts(ie. books), I tend to skip ahead a little and then lose my position. I need my fingers to mark what I'm reading. I'm stupid
