4.0 out of 5 stars Reseña por actualizar
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseSe pasaron con eso de una edición "económica". Las hojas están tan delgadas como las de un periódico, siento que si lo hojeo muy rápido romperé alguna por accidente.
En cuanto al contenido, como dice el título de mi reseña, lo iré actualizando.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and logical
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseBought the book for my son so I can write only what he said: the book is a joy to read and it's put up together in a logical, helpful manner. He's a computer science student and finds the book very useful. Apparently, to my surprise, not all books in IT are put well together, even when you would think that all IT people would be prone to logical presentation of their ideas.
