Lots of stuff in that thread; including many of the developers.
That's a good (and long :) ) thread to read.

But I also saw the suggestion to read books, well there are
mountains of books and some of them are very good, but many of them
are absolute crap.
I sure can't afford to buy five garbage books on code that cost
$49.95.
My library system doesn't have much even with interlibrary loans.
The developers all already know how to code well, us newbies who
are self-taught could use something that you might find difficult
to provide since you don't really need it anymore: Which books have
appropriate information for OpenBSD? How about opening a few new or
old books and listing a few good ones.
I'd like to know a few good ones on C and the make process.

You're going to get flamed for not searching the archives ...

Good luck ... my main problem is TIME - there's always a million
other things to do!
(So I appreciate the developers even more for giving their time and
efforts.)
