This unprecedented new series was designed for the software developer who needs to come up to speed quickly on a new language or technology. Most programming books give equal weight to all areas of a given technology, forcing a developer to spend time sorting out the critical aspects. CodeNotes takes a different approach drilling down to the core aspects of a technology and focusing on the key elements needed to implement it immediately thus presenting highly technical material in a format and style that is efficient and instantly useful.
-- Provides the closest thing to an instructor-led class on essential technologies
-- Includes real-world examples and training-style lab exercises
-- Includes a section that warns developers of potential pitfalls, and offers alternative workarounds to common problems
-- Free access to , which provides: additional background and examples, bulletin and message boards and a constantly expanding Code Gallery that developers can cut and paste
