Mr. Chun, thank you so much for your plug! I had no idea such a prestiged author as yourself would respond to my question, but I'm glad you did! I checked out a copy of your book from my public library (I'll need to purchase a copy eventually though) and the exercises are definitely helping a TON with getting my mind "thinking like a programmer". I'm barely in the excercises section in Part I Chapter 2 and I'm already amazed at your ability to encourage the mind to think! Personally, I'm loving your exercises so much, that they really are motivating me to "expand" on what you asked for. Take the small script where you challenge us to create a "negative, postive, and zero number detecter". I'm enjoying playing around with it by adding exceptions and elif statements here and there. Thank you Mr. Chun, you really answered my question in its entirety. :) Have you written any other books on programming by any chance, or can we expect any in the future? I really love your work!
