Covers the required areas with enough depth. Sometimes a bit too repetitive when reading from cover to cover. Chapters take up the same thing to be more complete as standalone texts. Too many long code listings for my taste.

I think this book is the best choice if you need to quickly learn about tabular modeling. It is well written and contains many links to deep learning articles and books.
