Reviews
"Finally someone wrote an iOS programming book that isn't half useless space-wasting screenshots of dialogue boxes in Xcode!"
"This is my second week in Swift 4 and all of the questions I had about Cocoa and the general app architecture have all been resolved after spending hours skimming sites and videos trying to get a clear, high level picture."
"Of course I was learning, but a good book provides so much more! I like to be able to imagine, and although it may in my personal opinion it is slower to learn using a book in the sense that it takes time to make the connections, apply what you learned, and see the results; a good book as this one is, is always worth reading!"
"This book is super hard to read, not because of the content, but because the author makes it super boring."

Reviews
"(If you have been thinking lately about working on some React-Redux projects, be advised that Redux--often defined as a "predictable state container"--gets its turn in the spotlight more than halfway into this book.). With this book, my appreciation for React has gotten much wider after tinkering with simple apps, such as to-do lists, in online examples."
"After a weekend of digging into React Quickly, and a few evenings of playing with the book’s examples, I’m now coming home from my developer job looking forward to the chance to do more coding! The book also teaches you how to work with the React stack and go beyond isolated components to understanding how to build complete apps. Mr. Mardan has integrated the theory and practice very well throughout and the book is structured such that each concept and exercise builds naturally on the previous one."
"I have read the majority of Azat's books and there is one thing that always strikes me... Not only he his a great engineer, he knows how to assemble a tech stack. to select from the gigantic JavaScript ecosystem, it helps a lot to have books like this one that are focusing on the best tools around. React newcomers will get the most out of this book but intermediate to advanced devs will also find value since nobody knows everything and you always pick up new tricks and techniques from other developers, in this case a prolific developer who is not only knowledgeable about React, Azat is an authority on Node.js and JavaScript in general."

Ferri, MD, FACP, is Clinical Associate Professor, Brown University School of Medicine and Chief, Division of Internal Medicine, St. Joseph's Health Services, Fatima Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island.
Reviews
"i bought the 4th edition 2 years ago, and i found it to be very useful, not only during wards, or medical school but also for a quick review when preparing the exams for the residency in my country."
"I was introduced to this book by my intern 2 years ago when I was a student during the first week of my gen med rotation. I hate carrying stuff in my white coat, especially books of this size. The stuff you see everday on the wards is reviewed very well, with signs, symptoms, diagnostic workup and treatment. But in the ED when you are accepting a thyroid storm, CVA, GIB, whatever, its there and it will get you through the admission and the evening until morning rounds with the attending. Another great feature is the section that helps to interpret many labs you may order. I'd say the next step is the little red book put out by Stanford (Standford Internal Medicine pocket guide?"
"As the other reviews here say, Ferri has a lot of useful content for the wards - Physical exam findings, differential diagnoses, brief & useful info on common medical conditions."
"My wife bought and used this one during her training and found it very easy and to the point."

"My method of study i chose to read this textbook cover to cover, taking all practice tests at the end of each chapter, along with the included practice exams on the disc. In addition to this text i went further to find online practice exams and Professor Messer videos on Youtube as free self studying material. The book covered the objectives and even went beyond which is why this makes a great on-the-job reference."
"Most importantly, I was looking for a book that could not only keep me engaged yet also provide the necessary educational materials. Presently I'm over a hundred or so pages in (the book is Bible thick) and have purposely slowed myself down at times to ensure lesson absorption but honestly could read this book like it was a spellbinding work of fanciful fiction. It really helps to have an actual, honest interest in the subject matter and there are times where you'll want access to several different operating systems."
