  I enjoyed the content and the author's writing style. She strives to make complicated topics fun and enjoyable to read. She covers topics very well, and ensures that the students are able to move from the basic to the advanced concepts in a logical fashion. --Prof. Brandon Alt, Montana State University - College of Technology It is clear and concise, yet it handles complicated topics with ease. I think the greatest appeal will be that a lot of information and how-to tips are presented in a relatively short book. --Prof. Amy W.
