Part of my job is doing computer book selection and weeding. Like every library, we have a large number of "For Dummies" books. Today, I ran across _Coding for Dummies_.

My first thought, "Coding isn't for dummies."

Second thought, "But what if you aren't a dummy, you just think you are?"

Followed by "and what if you get confused by this book claiming to be aimed at dummies, even if your intelligence isn't the problem. Will it prevent you from picking up a better alternative?"
