People often ask how I learned to be a programmer despite not fully majoring in it.
The answer is simple: Interest and resources.
Interest leads to skill, and when one is interested, they simply find themselves compelled to practice. Over the course of my technical training, I've come to a number of excellent resources. Today I wished to spotlight the Head First Book Series.
This series understands better than any textbooks I've read, how to introduce engineering concepts in a manner that is simplified, informative, engaging, and just darn fun, leaving you with real expertise in a manner that you'll remember.
They accomplish this at a very low price point among textbooks, easily worth two or three of the $80 textbooks that may be required of you by a college course.
Check a copy out at your library to see for yourself for free, or simply browse by their listings at Amazon.com and read the customer reviews. If you're interested in expanding your software skills, Head First will not disappoint.
