The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything...Fast by Josh Kaufman

4.0

Being a learning addict with the occasional OCD kicking in I really enjoyed the book. I picked up a few tips along the way and I'm left with two new things to learn:

1. Touch typing with the Colmak layout (to the probable sorrow of my future pairing partners)

2. Ruby. I wanted to learn either Ruby or Python anyway but couldn't decide yet. I guess I will give Ruby a try. It may not be the coolest language on earth but it does look great (and it sure beats Java and C#!)
