usualy learining books read like a glorified text book, but not this one, this book keeps your atention, and understands that most people dont simpley drop the book down and stat reading at page one and go to till the end. the book is made to be opened to any chapter and be understandable, a good book, if some what less than comprehensive. a must for beginners.
