Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years (1998)
I'd like to meet the person who would buy a book titled "Teach yourself computer programming in 10 years."

Well according to my wrestling with it, that book is out and called "The Art of Computer Programming" by don knuth.

The books that don't claim to teach you in 24 hours/21 days/etc
are
