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...
