5.0 out of 5 stars Organizado y fácil de comprender
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseAl igual que el que compre de Node.js de la misma editorial, está muy bien organizado con ejemplos, tocando todos los temas detalladamente. Muy completo, espero que puedan traducir del alemán, el libro que ando buscando de la misma editorial sobre php & MySQL al inglés o español. Se aprende deprisa y con facilidad

5.0 out of 5 stars Livro estruturado
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseO livro é muito bem estruturado. Eu geralmente compro livros de autores europeus após avaliar as referências por que o mesmos têm mais didática.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Experience!
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI bought this book a few months ago, read a few pages, and then put it aside because my developer friends said the best way to learn coding is by checking official documentation and building your projects.
However, I’ve realized that many developers feel like impostors because they don’t truly understand how the code works behind the scenes. They often rely on trial and error to get their results. With books, you learn things in a structured way. You might not remember everything, but once you’ve read and understood it, you can recall it while coding, look it up, and know how to apply it in your situation.
I’m so happy I bought this book. I've read a quarter of it and I’m thrilled. The knowledge I have is starting to come together.
Special thanks to Philip Ackermann, Sebastian Springer, and Rheinwerk Publishing. Please keep releasing new editions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasure to study from this book.
Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am really impressed with this book.
It is well written and designed, it is good for beginners and more experienced.
It covers a wide range of topics and wide range of nuances, has a great in depth index section that can be used for references.
This book really is a pleasure to read and will be my go to book for references.
Tip: If there is some more complex stuff in the book that you do not understand I recommend using CHAT GPT while reading as a reading tool to break down source code or paragraphs, it is a great companion for studying.
