If you look closely, you can see a human walking around the base of the rocket. Each Raptor rocket engine produces twice as much thrust as all 4 engines on a 747. There are 33 Raptor engines powering the Starship rocket booster.

Soni, the book doesn't need a 2nd edition at this time, it's still appropriate. It's really teaching the basics/foundations of programming, you are good with this edition!

Hi Eric, I plan on buying " Head First Learn to Code" but may I know is there 2nd edition in the making? Or is this book is still relevant in long term?

I've been reading Head First Design Patterns. Love the amusing writing style the authors have used in this book. I predict this book won't last long. Since I've got 4 hours of commute time to kill. @erictfree @elisabethrobson

Well that was probably cheap in 2004 as well, but your point is well taken! ;)

This is how you know "Head First Design Patterns" isn't written in 2022 - a coffee object with two decorators costs only $1.29 (Great book btw, it makes design patterns fun to read @erictfree @OReillyMedia )

A nice consultation addition by @erictfree and @elisabethrobson to my personal library. This one is in queue, right after I finish @chacon and @benstraub's GitPro. #designPatterns #coding

I am seriously tempted to jump right into Ableton 11. Never have I been more convinced that one of their software engineers visits the audio dreams inside my brain.
