I wasn't able to do everything in 21 days, but it was close. This is a massive book that needs to be read and re-read time and time again. The exercises are very clear and well written and, the coding examples are easy to understand.

[Damon Yuan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Difficult to read because of the lengthy code when it could be much simpler. And the content is not much into the core, most of which is superficial.
