Now Friedl gave me enough of a foundation that I can reason my way through all of the many non-standard variations that plague us today! I highly recommend this reference to the OP and everyone else. +1 to @slim for his comment, also! | |

You won't be able to memorize all the syntax from reading a book, but the book will show you all the things that exist so you know what tools you have to solve a problem when it comes along. | |
