The way I see it, every book should be about the celebration of learning. A place where practical knowledge that can be used forever as a way to either enjoy working with a language or improve one's opportunity to get a job as a programmer.I can't promise you a job. But I can tell you that what is in this book is what you need to know to land one.In fact, it just about covers what I needed to know when I landed my first job at Microsoft back in 1996.
