Why I love this book?

Very well written and beautifully formatted in the chapters. There are no such book available in the market. The price is kept within the reach for everyone. Also, the exercise and the question at the end of chapter makes it very easy to recap. I myself have a target to publish at least two books in 2023 and this book certainly is a motivation for me. Overall, whether you are a new or experienced API specialist, you must read this book once.
