Een aantal zaken heb ik al uitgebreid in dit topic behandeld, maar met name het motor-deel niet. Kent of heeft iemand dit boek? Is het voor mij de moeite waard om aan te schaffen? Ik blijf tenslotte boekenfanaat.
Nadat ik bovenstaand had geschreven kwam ik het boek(je?) op Amazon tegen. Ik zag dat het 107 pag. beslaat. En daar staat niet zoveel op zag ik op de voorbeeldpagina’s op bovenstaande site. Zie een kopie hierboven. Ter vergelijking: het boekje dat ik van de posts t/m begin november in dit topic heb gemaakt beslaat 156 pag. van in Arial 12 volgeschreven A4.
Toen ik ook nog de 1e customer review had gelezen was mijn aanvankelijke voorzichtige enthousiasme toch aardig bekoeld. Zie
