Actually, Richard, I've seen that book. It's a pretty decent
programming book. There is nothing in it a programmer shouldn't know.
As for having to be a "trained technician" - I haven't seen anything in
there requiring such expertise. It does, however, require a logical mind
and understanding of some very basic concepts - concepts every
successful programmer must know (like what is a "byte"?).

I'm sorry you think it's such a poor book - but you can't get a whole
lot better.
