Fortunately, I was given the time at work to work through the whole book, which I did, and, believe me, I'm glad I did. The book is very informative and also interesting. It took me about 2 1/2 days until I was through, and I was never bored. Every exercise is always described step by step, which I found particularly helpful. At one point, I got a strange error ...
