Review:For someone getting into these topics for the first time, the book will be interesting and readers might end up reading more detailed and better books to learn about the topics.
Having read several really good books, for me personally this one seemed really oversimplified and trying to put as many buzz words and topics in less text. So much, that I barely managed to make my self read it until the end. Read more
