Reviews

Mike Lonski's new book, Coding Smart, is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stuffy and boring collection of manuals. It is a must for everyone new to ADM2, and a "You ought to have it" for those who are not. It adds the element of why you do it this way, rather than just "This is how you do it." As I start work on version 2 of our software, this book will have a major influence on the new design and has been money well spent.

As a sometime ADM2 and GUI instructor (Progress Canada) and client coding demagogue, I rarely have any idea of what I am doing until well after I have written it. Your book has given me further substance and makes me stand out even in the eyes of my peers. Michael's new book should cost 10 times more than it does! I am very impressed. I love the format and context. Very well done!
