Yeah, I'm with you guys. I guess I'm pretty much paying for the
experience. Maybe we can get together for drinks afterwards and kill
the rest of our weak brain cells.
On a more serious note though, I'm trying to read through all of the
books on the list, focusing just on the parts that relate to L3
design. I'm also trying to determine all of the correct answers on
the demo and break them down to understand the thought process there.
I guess there's not much more that I can do...
