Den hann bli inaktuell innan jag läst klart.

This book has a similar style and feel to the authors' OCA book. Again, I like the use of everyday objects and especially the animal references which make it accessible and easy for me to understand (watch for my favorite, the wolf, to pop up in CH4). Programming tips, questions at the end of each chapter, and bonus exams make this a good choice as a book for getting ready for the exam.

"THE guide" for the exam, read it carefully, and practice together with enthuware... you'll succeed.
