[Diederik Mathijs · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very shallow, it tries to explain to much in only 500 pages.

[TN · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book is not structured clear enough. There are some useful examples, but overall too many topics covered within too generic approach.

good book for a quick reference. however I prefer using small snippets than building over the previous examples which leads to distraction.
