I've just finished skimming this one and its pretty good IMHO!
My only gripe is the final "chapter" - "Advice from an 
old programmer".

It seems Mr Shaw has become somewhat disillusioned 
with the software engineering profession, but as someone 
who has beenn programming for at least as long as he has 
I have to say that I still enjoy it and find it rewarding both 
personally and financially. So don't let the final page of 
cynicism put you off a career in software engineering. 

Otherwise, if you are looking for a newbie tutorial this a 
is a good one although it has less depth than most other
tutors, it's still a good first step. I assume it's still a work 
in progress too, since it jumps from Exercise (aka 
chapter) 10 to Excercise 27 in one go!

HTH,
