@SimonAndréForsberg Yeah. And I'm going to argue that for programming, it might be useful to have a book when you are very first learning programming, but after your first language and after you understand how programming works, you can find everything else you want online.
The AsyncWorkerQueue class uses TPL Data Flow and Rx to async process and cancel work in a queue. It takes in a worker factory (Func) and executes it when its turn (or not if its scheduled to be canceled).
public class AsyncWorkerQueue : IDisposable

private TransformBlock<TaskFactory, Task...
@nhgrif totally agree with you there. I didn't buy any programming book when I studied programming. Although I did have two programming books when I was a kid, "Delphi Programming for Dummies" and "Mastering Delphi 4" by Marco Cantù.
I was asked to code a solution in Python in 15 mins. Print all possible word combinations for a given phone number. Numbers 0 and 1 will not be part of the phone number, the numbers can be repeated, phone numbers can be of any length.
For example if the number is 245:
All combinations of 'ABC', ...
@JeroenVannevel Even still, I've seen books that inside look and read like textbooks, but they're not marketed as a textbook and not sold on a college campus, and they're 1/2 or 1/3 price compared to a typical textbook.
I was creating a program and I was trying to explain it to some of my coding friends. They commented that it was too tedious typing out all the "if" commands. How do I streamline this code?
Note: this is a ".bat" program.

So, to teach myself how to work with queues in C++, I started out simple. All I want to do is find the greatest value contained within a queue of integers. When I did this:
int max(queue<int> ints) {
int greatest = 0;
if (ints.size() >= 2) {
while (ints.size() != 0) {

I removed "@echo off" to see the actual printed commands

With the right code, I could tell you to copy & paste a snippet into your Swift playground, and wipe your entire hard drive (or whatever malicious stuff, etc.)
c:\Users\Simon\Desktop>set /p Food="What would you like to eat? "
What would you like to eat? Macaroni
c:\Users\Simon\Desktop>set "Food=Macaroni |"
c:\Users\Simon\Desktop>findstr /C:"Macaroni |" Menu.txt
that one works fine, @nhgrif
set /p Food="What would you like to eat? "
set "Food=%Food% |"
findstr /C:"%Food%" Menu.txt

With the help of a Windows user in chat (Thank's Simon!), we've got a much better solution figured out:
set /p Food="What would you like to eat? "
set "Food=%Food% |"
findstr /C:"%Food%" Menu.txt
