...an excellent presentation of the subject...good internet support for the book... (Cvu, December 2002) the authors have done a great job of cramming what I would consider to be all the relevant information required into the aforementioned 265 pages (M2 Best Books, 12 February 2003) the style and format of the book is very appealing and the explanations are clear (Computer Bulletin, July 2003)
