I guess I'm an advanced beginner knitter and I love this book. I first checked it out from the local library and decided it was something I needed in my home library for quick reference when knitting. It has all the basics from stitches to how to correct simple mistakes. Great illustrations and easy to find what your looking for.

I took this book out of the Library since I'm a beginner and fell in love with it. It's full of all the information you need, especially if you're a beginner and has a lot of pictures which is great since I'm very visual. I recommend this book as a great reference/teaching book for all those looking to sew.

I bought this book because I wanted to learn JavaScript, and it is doing just that!!! There is so much stuff packed into this book that it is amazing, and I can't believe I only payed $32 for it! It covers everything you need to know. It goes into more detail about JavaScript than any book on any other language I have seen. And all the pages are not little flashy examples. It is a real reference for those who are serious about learning JS.

Well-written, well organized reference book that is full of screen shots, hints and sample code. I have a little Python experience, but I think this book would work for complete beginners as well. The basics are covered with step by step lessons and the author did not leave out important details.

This book has everything you need as a beginner uke player, as well as tons of songs for old timers.
I would suggest this book to anyone that is learning, or just wants a hearty book full of traditional as well as popular music.
The binding makes this book very easy to read, and the chords above each page make it enjoyable to learn from.

I am between a beginner and an intermediate user and the info in this book fits my skill level very well. I am sure once I cover this information I will need to move up in more detailed information on some items.

If you're a complete novice or even an intermediate programmer this book thoroughly covers logic, algorithms, and programming paradigms in a clear and straightforward manner. I'm a self-taught "hobbyist" programmer and have always enjoyed the art and science of creating scripts and full-blown software in a number of different languages (C, C++, Common Lisp, Python, Perl, JavaScript, and PHP). While I have a solid understanding of the syntax and basic procedures for each language, this book has improved my programming skills ten-fold by not only making my workflow more efficient and effective but by giving me the tools to construct faster, less buggy programs and the knowledge to overcome both common and complex programming hurdles. As a typical "hobbyist-hacker" I jumped in learning programming languages without first understanding general programming logic and semantics. If possible, I highly recommend reading this book BEFORE learning to code in ANY programming language. By doing so, you will be miles ahead of other novices in learning both a single language at first and also adding more languages to your programming arsenal in the future.

Excellent book for any skill-level, but essential to all beginners! The content is laid out in a very fun fashionable way that will hold the reader's interest. The content is clear, concise and well-ordered. I once believed that once you've seen one HTML+CSS book, you've seen them all, but this one is truly one of a kind. The paper quality and design is bar-none a graphical artist's dream.
HOWEVER...
The build quality. Upon first time cracking this book open, you will feel how stiff and sensitive the binding is. I am very afraid to press down on the spine to get the book to lay down more flat to make reading words closer to inside the page simple. Judging by other reviewers, my fear is truly founded. But for now, all is intact. Will update if there are any changes to this current event...

I have 25+ years of technical experience and I learned several new things from this book. G did an excellent job of compiling and summarizing a plethora of technical information without overwhelming the reader with jargon. She also didn't make assumptions about skill levels, so even those new to the world of blogging, Wordpress, hosts, etc. will find great value in this book.

I was so excited when I got this book, I flipped through and immediately noticed the abundance of pictures and organized colorful pages of text.  I've attempted to read other "get started" photography books but have come across books that are dry and lengthy.  This book is written in an easy manner that is understandable to new photographers like myself, it's also formatted to be able to easily refer back to when camera is in hand.  I loved the pro tips scattered throughout the book, and especially enjoyed seeing the photo comparisons, where the same picture is shown showing different resolutions, presets, exposures, etc.  This book really covers most every topic a learning photographer would need, from storing photos to using your camera to lighting.  I've already recommended this book to friends who are new to photography, no other book is needed besides this one to get started using your camera out of the auto mode.
