This book is very different from a typical “bible” approach to a topic. By structuring the book as a “how-to,” it presents the material by scenario in steps that are easily followed. Throughout, I have tried to keep the explanatory text to the minimum necessary and keep the focus on the code itself. Often, you will find comments embedded in the code to explain nonobvious bits. | BEN WATSON C BEN WATSON C HOW-TO s4ms 800 East 96th Street Indianapolis Indiana 46240 USA C How-To Copyright 2010 by Pearson Education Inc.
