$29.99
This book would be good if you were interviewing for an entry-level C programming job 20 years ago. However, todays programming world has: Object Oriented programming, database integration, SQL, the Internet, shell scripting langauges, and software life cycle development, NONE of which are covered in this book. This doesn't even mention the classics, like joining a database table to another enstantiation of itself, spot the memory leak, or recurrsion. How did these morons ever got a job in software? I would not hire them based on the content of this sadly laking text. They also forgot the essential element of getting a programming job today: be on an H1B visa, speak little Engilsh, work cheap, and re-write your resume to parallel the job description regadless of whether you have the actual experience asked for.

Smart movie starring two excellent actors Sienna Miller and Steve Buscemi. This unlikely pair will keep you engaged from start to finish. Sienna plays Katya, young, pretty, seemingly shallow acress who takes on roles in daytime soap operas and thriller movies. Pierre is jaded war correspondent, sarcastic, middle aged and more or less wasted. Pierre's job is to interview the starlet as part of his editor's People Profile column. Surely, neither people profile not the startlet herself is the kind of writing that Pierre wishes to do. He would prefer to be in Washington, DC following up with the latest political topsy-turvy of the capital's national politics. Circumstances place these two in Katya's apartment where they verbally battle each other out for both their career and personal choices. It is apparent that both of them are damaged and as such incapable of compassion and decent human interaction. Both have a goal and use their professions to win over the other individual. Which one of these two consummate actors will win at the end? Will it be the youth and inexperience, or perpetually unhappy worldliness? You will have to watch this movie to find out!
