Customer Reviews

Useful

A good review of some old classics. The articles are helpful in building a strong foundation in the subject.

Next best thing . . .

. . . to hanging around with a bunch of practicioners swapping war stories and advise/wisedom/opinion. As the other reviewer said, the advise is at times contradictory, which is exactly what you get from talking to the professionals who do this all the time. There are some thing which everyone agrees on, and much of the rest is personal style.
