Win or not, I am buying a copy of this book. I am a fan of the Head First Series. Please make one, if there not one yet, for iOS.

Thank you!

We're very glad to be here.

Apologies for the delays in answering some questions. We're traveling at the moment, and our Internet connection is a little patchy.

Looking forward to many more question!
