To get the most out of this book

Take your time, don't rush. You don't need to read this book in a week.

Come back to this book as your developer career progresses. You will focus on completely different things, and this way you will learn the most out of this book.

Play with the examples I have prepared. Each is a standalone application so you can play and improve the code as we go. This is meant to serve as a playground so you can not only learn from the examples but create extensions of them. As you build, you will understand the changes that are introduced section after section. If you just read the book, you will definitely miss this perspective.
