&lt;p&gt;My apologies, my friend. For some reason four of my postings &amp;quot;fell off&amp;quot; the server yesterday and when I reposted, fixing up the links to the photos, I didn't put in the photo attributions (that is fixed now). None of them is mine (I wish I was that good). Most are from iStockPhoto or stock.xchng and all are licensed and where necessary, paid for.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I like the &amp;quot;Wonder Land&amp;quot; a lot. That's the story of my life...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good luck with your photography and programming!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I don't want to run a fight on the topic (as I know it would be so much pain having one), but, honestly, if I am (or i think I am) a programmer today, that's because of you!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don't know why? I'll tell you, back in my university, I had a chance to buy a great book of you: &amp;quot;Sam's Teach yourself C++ in 21 days By Jesse Liberty&amp;quot;, and that was my first encounter with some programming!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although My major field was Biomedical Engineering, but I followed the programming by your book and today I work as a programmer not a Biomedical Engineer!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was two thing that Attracted me: 1- the way you've classified the topics of the book, 2- The really funny language you had there, it pushed me to learn more with lots of fun. and today after years of learning Programming stuff, if somebody out of corner &amp;nbsp; ask me: &amp;quot;He buddy what's the best programming book you have ever read?&amp;quot; &amp;nbsp;I will answer: &amp;quot;Sam's Teach yourself C++ in 21 days By Jesse Liberty, with no doubt&amp;quot;, not just because it was really the best, because it was the best entry point I may had, with your book.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for that&lt;/p&gt;
