This is an interesting mix of the technical and the ideas around projects. The explanation of technical aspects is clear and concise. The projects are interesting and provide suggested references ... I think this would cement learning within a practical context. This would be a good accompanying book for level 3 for both A level and BTEC -- Daniel Lee, New College Stamford, UK
