Tragedy of learners

Recently, I began to focus on C development on the Linux platform. My younger brother is not easy to learn and needs to write books to improve himself. However, from the online bookstore, to the two bookstores in Shanghai on Friday and Saturday, we can see that we feel the sorrow of developers who need to learn.

When I buy a book, I first think of a website. When I search for a book, I only need a few books. I know that this kind of book should be a lot of foreigners. I just accept the English version, the results were rarely published in China, with no more than 10 books. I went to Lujiazui zhengda bookstore in Pudong on Friday and saw no more than 5 books about Linux or the operating system, I went to Shanghai bookstore and saw that the results were similar. There were no more than 10 in-depth books. Sad!

I don't know other books in the current bookstore. In our technical books in this line, I think the ratio of reasonable books is as follows: the entry version of 50%, the advanced version of 30%, 20%. But the current bookstore:> 70% is the entry version, <25% is the advanced version (in fact not the advanced version), and <5% has a deep version. Let's talk about the Quick Start version. The current entry version is more about filling up the "XX book", "XX secret", "n days proficient in XX", "XX shortcuts", and "XX practices "....... How does the current bookstore look like a martial arts book conference. Cough, no wonder it's so difficult for colleagues who are just getting started. These books are often useless.CodeThe number of lines is full, the text description is very small, and the book is very thick, it should be sold well, people look at the value of this money, but the second eye is not allowed. The advanced version is actually out of these terms, but it is not very good, but these books are relatively written by foreigners and translated by Chinese people, and the real advanced version written by Chinese people is rare. Not to mention the deep edition. It's just a bit easy for foreigners to take over. It's not much, and it's not very readable. If a person wants to study it in depth, besides relying on forums, it seems that reading is the first to be excluded.

The book market is economical, market-oriented, and fast-food. It is good for some books in life, especially some magazines. But it is a bit difficult for us to develop technology in this industry .......

PS: I hope that my colleagues in the Group of books will first see how many of their books are listed on other books or references. "Reference: come out. Is it the value behind the book.
