The material is presented in a “what, why, where, and how” format, so it’s easy to understand a given topic and apply the solution. The format facilitates fast understanding and quick reference—just what you need when you’re under pressure. The authors have done the research for you, and they identify and discuss common options. Where there is a choice, there is analysis to guide you.
