Reviews

[Barbi Mattioli]

A veces bien... a veces no tanto [💩]

[Anye]

Intuitivo, buenos ejemplos. Pero leerlo obligada es terrible (y más si es en dos o más ediciones).

[Camicita]

ESTO VIENE ACÁ PORQUE MI SUPLICIO TIENE QUE SERVIR PARA ALGO.
Bueno, tengo que admitir que los últimos capítulos ni los miré, porque me daban ganas de dedicarme al scrapbooking cuando pensaba en seguir leyendo esto.
De todas maneras, creo que es bastante claro y útil en cuanto a la introducción a los conceptos básicos de OS.
Tres estrellas porque, a pesar de haberme resultado el somnífero perfecto, logró que entendiera todo este desastre. Igual, cada vez que leía "un lector perspicaz ya se habrá dado cuenta..." me entraba un impulso violento. Creo que la condescendencia es algo demasiado normal en los de sistemas.
