A chunky fragment of TDPL will hit Rough Cuts soon enough. I'm pondering
whether I should be adding exercises to the book. Some books have them,
some don't.
Pros: As I'm writing, I've come up with some pretty darn cool exercise
ideas.
Cons: The book gets larger, takes longer to write, and I never solved
the exercises in the books I've read, but then I'm just weird.
What do you think?
I personally never did exercises unless they were assigned. Generally
when I'm reading a text book on my own, it's to get going on a project.
So I'm not interested in solving puzzles :)
But examples are good to help with understanding, so as long as you put
the answers in the book, I think it's a good idea.
