Good for beginners

As someone who has read similar books before, most of the topics taught were not new to me. A beginner will find the book useful.

This was better than I expected.

The audio book was better than I expected. I believe it is worth the price. The chapters are easy to follow. Buy the kindle version as well if you can. It will make following the book even more easier.

Great book and narration

I wasn’t so sure about the narration of a programming book. The narrator did a good job. I was able to follow without being confused. The content of the book is very interesting.
