That was one of the first Java books I read, too, Frank. It was before
Sun published any Java programming books, and before I went to work for Sun.
BTW, I believe your b'day is today, Frank. If so, have a great one!

I assume a good Python book costs less than the course. In 1996 I got
a job re-implementing a large statistical causal reasoning library
from Pascal to Java. I bought a book called “Teach yourself Java in
21 days”. Within less than that time I had several large programs
converted. I barely looked at the Pascal but at pseudocode
descriptions of the algorithms instead.

“As a measure of the magnitude of impact of MOOCs so far, one of our
MOOC specializations in the Python programming language is among the
most popular offerings on Coursera — I believe that it has reached
more than a million learners at this point. A significant fraction of
those learners have opted to sit for an exam to get a certificate in
Python programming.”
<Huff> A person that seeks a Coursera class to learn Python is not
destined for a career in software development.
“Also, we introduced an Applied Data Science specialization about a
year ago. That one, though not receiving enrollments at quite the same
level as the Python specialization, is generating tens of thousands of
learners per quarter.”
Thousands of learners or thousands of people who create a filtering
problem for recruiting departments?
