The first time those concepts have been explained and I really understood them. I still argue "why go through that much trouble" for some things, but at least they were explained clearly. Do you have a recommendation for ASP.NET? Preferably C#. That was really a good book. The first time those concepts have been explained and I really understood them.

I'm rather tired of Oracle, so I'm teaching myself .net in the hopes of changing to a smaller company in the near future. I don't know about free computers, but I'm getting quite a lot of mileage out of an Acer Aspire One, which was inexpensive $350, and is doing quite well running the free version of the C# developer's kit. The keyboard is on the tiny side, but I've spent evenings and weekends the last year writing Python code on an OLPC XO, so I'm used to smaller keyboards. Thanks for the link to the C# book!
