The name doesn't bother me, I proudly display two ...for Dummies'
books on my shelves :-)

However I am currently teaching myself to program my Apple iBook
using Cocoa and Objective C and the book I'm using contains this
fantastic bit of advice:

"Whenever things don't work out as you expected just repeat:
'Programming is hard and I am not stupid!'"

I thought that was great.
