Book Review: The Passionate Programmer written by Chad Fowler

by

I just happened to get to know about this book while browsing through the books on Flipkart and the book immediately caught my attention. So here’s my review of the book:

First things first:

  • Really cool cover page of the book – [I know Chad Fowler’s musical interest has some role to play in the designing of the cover page]
  • 200 odd pages book- So you don’t feel its overdose of information

  • Nice and legible font used for the content.
