Enough. This is advertising, guys. Like a headline, it is meant to
catch your eye and get you to read on. There's nothing sinister (or
insulting) at all about it. And, in fact, it did exactly what it was
designed to do, at least in my case.
Do you guys get this hot and bothered about books that tell you you
will learn to program in C in 24 hours (Sam's guides, if memory
serves)? Of course not.

Richmond,
sorry to be so abrasive, but IMHO none of these titles makes
any sense...
The 1st one has been already discussed. As for the 2nd one,
what exactly is a "functioning Program" ?
put 1 + 1 into a
is a functionning program, as well as
echo "hello world";
and both can be built in a large number of languages in less
than a minute...
Furthermore, I don't think this topic has anything to do with
semantics, but rather with the ergonomics of coding...
Therefore, I'd prefer "Learn how to produce a functionning
piece of software that will boost your (or your client's )productivity
and that isn't already available as freeware, shareware or commercial
app in 1 day"...
Or, as suggested in earlier posts, much better :
"Learn how to code as you think in 1 day"
"Kill your fear of programming in 1 day"
Best,
JB
Semantics time:
There is a huge difference between "Learn Programming
in 1 Day"
and "Learn How to Produce Functioning Programs in 1
Day".
The first title, which ever way you cut it, is fairly
nonsensical;
HOWEVER, the second makes perfect sense with regard to
Runtime Revolution.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
