For one person's balance (and his advice in other areas), check out the now retired Dr. Robert Rannie's syllabus for his computer science class CSCI-468 at Northern Illinois University: _http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/syl468S7.html_ (http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/syl468S7.html) Remember as you read through his list of dos and don'ts that he provides links (in _http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/homepagA.html_ (http://www.cs.niu.edu/~rrannie/homepagA.html) ) to 11 of the RTFMs needed in his class, which is something we cannot always tell a poster to do, as he may not have any doc available.
