This was a great book to read. I was very confused in lecture because I am not programming savy. This book really helped me a lot. Everything is explained in simple terms and makes so much sense.

I can't believe after paying for shipping, seller mailed this book by snail mail. Seller provided me with the tracking number. Seller asked me to go to the nearby post office to help track this package. Postmaster told me that the parcel was mailed through the postal service snail mail system. Seller could have told me what postal service system he/she used. It took almost three weeks to get parcel. Apparently, I am disgusted with this sale.
