I appreciate the well structured presentation of ideas as well as the very practical approach in creating projects while learning very important concepts. It is like a workbook and laboratory manual in one!
I particularly enjoyed how the author wrote the book in a conversational manner while maintaining the excitement for the reader.
The Appendix at the end of the book is very helpful in encouraging the reader to explore even further.
