Since we expressing two opposite opinions on the Nutshell book, let's make this disagreement useful for people. What didn't you like about it? I liked it because it was direct and to the point, and it covered the language in a logical order. I'll it admit that it probably did help that I was alreay familiar with C++, which they used as a point of comparison. Michael W.
