Beginner Friendly.

I honestly looked forward to the summaries because they were more succinct then the core material, but the core material is really great as well.

It includes snippets of code if you want to code along.

I will definitely peruse it again when I need direction on a specific solution, I know that the hands on recipes in here will come in handy.

The final chapter was definitely my favorite, enterprise solutions are necessary.
