[Aniruddh Nagdeote · Rating 3 out of 5]

A book with some good examples and gives you checklists and a chance to do self analysis. The book is written in a way to make it self-interactive. The examples are old or should I say infamous. Read an 2002 version. You may skip it since better books are available on the same topic.

Quite boring.
Felt like an old man talking. Maybe it was interesting in 1997.

Bu kitabı okumak gerçekten zaman kaybı oldu. Sadece göz gezdirebildigimi söylesem daha doğru olur.
