I'm a CSCI instructor at a large community college and am belatedly trying to master Git. Up until know it's been a frustrating experiences. Most learning resources are of marginal quality, limited scope, incomplete and inconsistent. I've seen this problem many times in my career with new, emerging technology areas. Those that really understand it are out doing it, not explaining it. After yet another frustrating experience trying to reconcile conflicting explanations on different sites, I turned in desperation to Amazon to search for a good book. And found it! "Professional Git" is simply outstanding. Everything is explained extremely well. Introductory concepts and background is first presented in a step-by-step manner. This makes is so much easier to understand the more advanced concepts and application later. It's obvious that the author knows the topic very well including both the theory, application, current use, associated products, best practices etc. And he writes very well. Presents very logically and easy to understand. BUT BEST OF ALL HE HAS LOTS OF PICTURES! To me, this is the hallmark of any great presentation of technology, whether in print or video format. Pictures are critical in understanding these complex concepts. See attached photo as an example. So do you want to learn Git? This is the book to git. One piece of advice. If you get the Kindle, use the Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader vs the Windows app. The cloud reader makes it easier to see the graphics.

I will keep it because I need the reference, but it's disappointing to pay for a new book and receive one that's already showing signs of wear: scuffed corners, bent cover and creasing.
