Some chapters are a little heavy to digest in an hour but overall the book is well written and clear, pictorial examples are easy to follow.
Definitely worth the purchase.
It is also worth mentioning that all code in the book is current as of 1/25/2012.
Well this book delivered. It has come through in a big way. I've learned more in the first 10 chapters than all the previous books combined. It combines excellent instruction with real-world examples and (THANK YOU) no typos that I've seen. In the past I didn't give to much thought to the Sams Teach Yourself series because I thought they might be too basic and slow-paced. Boy was I wrong. I'll be looking to Sams more often after this gem of a book.
