I have to say that your books are among the best! They’re quality books that teach the theoretical aspects and applications of the operating system.” -Benton Chan, IS Engineer“The book has more than lived up to my expectations from the many reviews I read, even though it targets FC2.

Did I say that?! :-)” -David Hopkins, Business Process Architect“Thanks for your work and for the book you wrote.
