- I've had the book for two or three weeks now, and I'm about half way
- through it. So far it's very well written and helpful. The example
- applications are used to explain and demonstrate general concepts that
- would've been much harder to gleen from the online reference material.
- There are typos here and there but I haven't encountered any that were
- hard to recognize and correct.
-
- Summary: So far, so good! I'll post again when I've finished it.
