Rezensionen

"Der Band von Robert Faludi eignet sich ideal für Entwickler, Hacker, für Studenten und Hobbyentwickler sowie auch für Wissenschaftler und an Ingenieure, Studierende und Praktiker, die einen Einstieg in diese interessante Technologie finden wollen und müssen.

Jedem Leser dieser Zielgruppe kann dieses Buch einiges liefern und bieten! [...] Ich kann dieses Buch nur jedem Empfehlen der sich mit diesem Thema befasst und Arbeiten muss. So effizient war noch kein anderes Buch, das ich gelesen habe.

WNS-Technologie, Terminologie praktische Vorgehensweisen werden en detail beschrieben: der Motivationswert ist enorm - man bekommt sofort Lust auf eigene Projekte." -- www.php-nuke.de, April 2011
