About This Book

The code samples are well-documented and easy to follow, even for beginners. The research behind this work is evident in every chapter, with insights and examples that strengthen the arguments presented. The practical applications discussed in the later chapters have already proven useful in my professional work.

The exercises at the end of each chapter reinforce learning and encourage hands-on experimentation. I found myself highlighting entire sections because the ideas were so well-articulated and thought-provoking. I've recommended this book to several colleagues, and everyone has had similarly positive experiences.
