Summary: Great self-teaching book
Review: I loved this book because you can learn concepts in little chunks. I sat down for a few minutes every day and just did a few pages, every new page introduces a new concept. I got through the whole book and exercises without any confusion, and felt like I learned as much as if I had attended a software training course.

Summary: Good, but overly simplistic and limited
Review: The only strength of this volume is that it's pretty straight forward. However, the explanations are overly simplistic and no real substance. Its examples are too concrete and don't leave room for more generalization (abstraction, if you will). Because of this, the book is rather limited and and too strict. I understand the intent of the authors was to teach newcomers by "forcing" them through examples, however, I found the cooking recipe-style to be much too constrictive and inflexible.And I think leaves the person with more questions as to how to do things on their own, but it gives no clues as to how to do it. It's not a bad book, but avoid it if you're up to cooking-recipe-style learning.
