  • It depends on what you want to learn. One book won’t teach you everything there is to know about a language.

    Decide on what area of the language you want to learn more about and then try to find a book that focuses on conveying that.

    Otherwise you may spend a bunch of time learning something you don’t care about. You don’t need to know everything about a language unless you have a specific reason for why you want or need that knowledge.

    The depth you go into a language will dictate where you need to go to gain the knowledge you’re seeking, if that makes any sense.

    A simple 2-3 hour breeze through online documentation may be all that you need to get by. Or maybe a deep dive into serialization is needed because the kind of project you’re on and therefore finding a few books on that subject will be required.


  • The thing that gets me is the “ghost gun” they found on him doesn’t look like a 3D printed gun according to the pictures that were released. It looks like a typical factory manufactured pistol with a metal slide and a metal barrel. Both machined. He would have spent a lot of needless time adding this much detail to the gun, like the grips on the machined metal slide. Why put so much effort into something like that?

    Everything on that gun looks highly machined. This isn’t what you would expect from a home brewed 3D printed gun.

    Now it could be they just took a random gun and photoed it to make the media happy and didn’t want to show the actual gun. But it’s odd.
