Industry Reviews

"This excellent work from O'Reilly is the first in a valuable series of revised and edited reprints of the very best articles from the Journal. If you're looking for simple answers to generic problems, then this work is certainly not for you. On the other hand, for a thrilling, thought provoking read which will certainly stretch and enliven your coding approach, this volume comes highly recommended." - Martin Howse, Linux User & Developer, issue 27
