yea cool tuts but you shouldn't say "stop reading all that extra nonsense they put" well ive looked at many books books and tutorials (like your link) it all depends on people some rather stay there read there book and learn it all, some are more comfortable with tutorials that are straight forward learning
so what im saying is that the books don't have nonsense xD a lot of the blah blah is explaining exactly whats going on in you pc blah blah might be less interesting or what ever but still always good to know
just my 2cents xD
nice tho thanks ima go check it out!
