5.0 out of 5 stars I am one of the authors, so I may be biased
I have run into many people who have used this book and told me they had been lost trying to program the TPM until they found it. It tries to cover several things:

2) If you need to write an application that uses it at a high level.

There is a lot of C code in the book for examples.
