Editorial Reviews
Review
“Murach has yet again hit a home run! This book is laid out in such a way where the theory is on the left page and the ‘Cliff Notes’ version of the content is on the right side. It gets you from zero to Jr Dev knowledge in no time. After the fact, you can always use that right page as a great reference whilst in the middle of a project. Bravo again, guys.”
– Brian Knight, Founder, Pragmatic Works, Florida
“A notable feature of the book is that everything is done as a ‘How to, ‘ which is great when you are learning. This is the typical Murach approach to books, making them not just useful for learning but also as big cookbooks.”
– David Bolton, Past Host of C/C++/C# for About.com (now hosted at ThoughtCo.com)
