Customer Reviews
Outdated title - not really relevant
Wish I had checked the publish date before buying as it’s a decade old and while some of the advice still holds the majority is not helpful anymore.
Old and Outdated
This book should be removed from the iTunes Store. Published in 2011 (wish I would’ve checked before buying) almost anything hardware or software related, such as all of his recommendations and explanations on parts, are almost useless. Some of the technical explanations can translate, but being that it’s a “for dummies” book, there aren’t that many anyway. Don’t waste your money.
