Full Review 

Kay Ewbank concludes her review:

This is an excellent book. It's written in an understandable way, and uses real life experiences and examples from the authors' working lives to demonstrate both the risks and how to mitigate them. If you have responsibility for IoT devices or applications that use them either in your working or personal life, it's worth reading.

From the I Programmer Library

Published this week:

    Trick180

Programmers think differently from non-programmers, they see and solve problems in a way that the rest of the world doesn't. In this book Mike James takes programming concepts and explains what the skill involves and how a programmer goes about it. In each case, Mike looks at how we convert a dynamic process into a static text that can be understood by other programmers and put into action by a computer. If you're a programmer, his intent is to give you a clearer understanding of what you do so you value it even more.

  • Deep C#: Dive Into Modern C# by Mike James

    DeepCsharp360
    In Deep C#, I Programmer's Mike James, who has programmed in C# since its launch in 2000, provides a “deep dive” into various topics that are important or central to the language at a level that will suit the majority of C# programmers. Not everything will be new to any given reader, but by exploring the motivation behind key concepts, which is so often ignored in the documentation, the intention is to be thought-provoking and to give developers confidence to exploit C#’s wide range of features.
