The information contained in this sample book seems to be very valuable. In my mind's eye, ( the place I send information that I learn or inject to rehash or evaluate) short and to the point with examples gives the reader a sense of direction that appears to be true and helpful in shortening the learning curve. Just my opinion 😅. Hope this helps and have a great day. David K.
