I'm not doing it for the money. Writing a worthwhile book is about the least efficient way to make money.

Yeah---each chapter begins with background on the chapter's topic, some theory, covers how and where you'd use what's we're talking about in the chapter and then we use it to build a part of the project we're buildi

I think the keyword is "typical." Which is probably true that the math is pretty basic at most universities and in most programs. But you can go to schools like the University of Toronto, which is a strong math school and has very

You got it. You can be about security or UX. And when the accounts are public I'm especially in favor of taking advantage UX-wise. The issue's when both are half-assed.

by travisjeffery 9y ago
Correct. The UI message would always be the same, some variant of "email sent." Even if the account already existed and it wasn't actually a successful sign up of a new account.
