CodeNotes provides the most succinct, accurate, and speedy way for
a developer to ramp up on a new technology or language.
Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to
the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for
developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and
pocket references.
