Fast to start. Clear chapters. Great on editing.
Reviewer avatar
I read one section during a coffee break and ended up rewriting my plan for the week. The scripting part hit that hard.
Reviewer avatar
Practical, not preachy. Loved the latex examples.

The life tie-ins made it feel like it was written for right now. Huge win.

Not perfect, but very useful. The oliver angle kept it grounded in current problems.
