I'm sorry, but it's not a great price for a poor university student. I have played with backbone and spine some, but putting hacker cleverness aside, books are a great way to cut down the traversal of learning space. It saves time to read distilled knowledge from those who blazed the trail.

That said, best of luck with the book. I respect that you have specific plan in mind.

Edit: Seriously!? Why am I being downvoted over my financial status? Please point out what I did wrong.



I've been in school too, it is expensive (especially now).

However if my text books costed $24 I would have been insanely happy, most cost well over $100. So if the book is good perhaps its worth it.


Just curious, did you try contacting them and ask for a student discount? That works more often than you'd think.


Thanks for the feedback.

That seems like a more appropriate option, but it didn't occur to me. I don't mean to act like an ass.
