Perfect for simple geeks
As an Analyst I love to know how things work and this perfectly shows what it says on the cover. Written in plain English with clear instructive diagrams/ images, so that anyone can understand. A great format not to be changed.

Highly recommended
I work in IT and have always struggled to understand the technical side. This book really helps you understand the basics. I am a person that needs to read something a few times before it sinks in, so will be reading it again. Highly recommended

Poor quality editing
Seems like a good book for content. It's a real shame that images span two pages, and the editor has not accounted for the fact you can't see about 1cm in the middle because of the spine... quite frustrating.
