The material is up to date, useful, and presented in a friendly manner. I found the organization of the material a bit disjointed at times, and was disappointed that the "explanations" of some of the newer technologies was more technical rather than based on uses, strengths, or weaknesses. Overall, though, this provides a quick and helpful guide. copyright Robert M.
