Your books have always been my go-to source because they're perfectly suited to my no-time-to-waste schedule and ADD learning style--they're modular, clean, and hit all the major points without any fluff. I know that by the time I finish, I'll feel very comfortable with proceeding on a live assignment. - Jeff Madrak, Independent Software Developer
