This won't make you an expert... cd collection??? where is the
"relational" part???
Did you started in this way? Do you know anybody who is a DB
expert who started in this way???
Assembly and C are colors and whistles !!!!!
At 12 you want colors and whistles!!!! And if you don't like color
and whistles at 12 you'll never be an expert. Be an expert require
time and application... you have to be excited to sustain the work...
Maybe when you get older the excitement would become
something different... more cold, a cold excitement... but when you
start you have to be excited...
But this was an old thread...
