  The coder’s path to wealth and independence
Beckner M., Apress, Berkeley, CA, 2014. 248 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-484204-22-1)

I was predisposed to hate this book. The title sounds like a cable infomercial, one of those change-your-life sales pitches that snags you in a moment of late-night weakness, only to reveal itself as an embarrassing credit card charge ...
