Thank you Karl,
I myself is not a programmer (mostly doing networking stuff in my job), but I 
found that a bit programming skill won't hurt. I've been looking for 
something like this, the one that can give someone like me a basic 
understanding of what programming is all about.

Btw, is the pdf version of the book available?
Thanks.
