## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ loved this book!
*by K***A on March 14, 2021*

I loved loved loved this book! It was some of the best parts of grad school, but repackaged into a form that was accessible to someone who hasn’t seen academia in decades. I just about read it in one sitting... Couldn’t put it down.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From finite state machine to turing machines, in a digstible, example driven way
*by E***A on May 30, 2014*

Most books talking about automatons, regular expressions and related subjects are made really hard to digest by have a very formal, mathematical approach and not being straightforward to apply into programming concepts. This book does have depth but keeps it simple by showing you actual code instead of just mathematical symbols. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will probably come back to it soon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Practical Introductory Book
*by M***L on August 10, 2013*

I've gone through the first part of the book, and it is great up until now.There are some code examples in this book that are not explained and are hard to understand, maybe the book would be better off without examples the author does not plan to explain adequately, or code examples that do not help the reader understand the subject being treated.Most of the code examples that are not thoroughly explained are *extra* content, but I think they degrade the quality of the book instead of improve it.
