Praise for other Head First books

“I received the book yesterday and started to read it...and I couldn’t stop. This is definitely trÉs ‘cool.’ It is fun, but they cover a lot of ground and they are right to the point. I’m really impressed.”

Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer, and co-author of Design Patterns

“One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I’ve ever read.”

Aaron LaBerge, VP Technology, ESPN.com

“What used to be a long trial and error learning process has now been reduced neatly into an engaging paperback.”

Mike Davidson, CEO, Newsvine, Inc.

“Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit.”

Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online

“I ♥ Head First HTML with CSS & XHTML—it teaches you everything you need to learn in a ‘fun coated’ format.”

Sally Applin, UI Designer and Artist

“Usually when reading through a book or article on design patterns, I’d have to occasionally stick myself in the eye with something just to make sure I was paying attention. Not with this book. Odd as it may sound, this book makes learning about design patterns fun.

“While other books on design patterns are saying ‘Buehler... Buehler... Buehler...’ this book is on the float belting out ‘Shake it up, baby!’”

Eric Wuehler

“I literally love this book. In fact, I kissed this book in front of my wife.”

Satish Kumar
