The Garage Series

I do my best work in the GARAGE! What's in your Garage?

Our Garage is filled with "kewl" cutting edge topics that will keep you entertained while you learn — our two-color format, great typography, "eye-candy" art and illustrations, and useful/humorous icons deliver the goods without putting you to sleep!

The Garage Series is built on the premise that technical books don't have to be boring. Each title includes some or all of these unique and helpful features:

• Under the Hood explains the deeper under-pinnings of the technology.
• The Fridge contains quick "off topic" items like favorite recipes, websites, etc.
• Toolkit includes a number of code examples or solutions that are real, complete, working applications.
• Topics (not chapters) include features and examples of best practices in short 1-4 page spreads.
• Killer Index allows even the novice of readers to find what they need quickly.
• Blogs appear randomly throughout a book to discuss some facet of technology.
• Glossary on Steroids defines terms specific to the technology in order to offload some of the burden from the text.

Our authors love what they do and it comes through in their writing. Their expertise and incredible writing style help you easily solve your problems with examples and suggestions in an edgy, fun, active-voice writing style. So, what are you waiting for? Enter the Garage today — you may never want to leave!

Don't take our word for it, read what this customer has to say -- "I read quite a bit, and it is rare to find a book like yours that jumps straight into the good stuff. I am often put off by the number of pages it will take before I get to the point where I will be doing the kind of stuff I want or need to do, plus the sense of humor is GREAT. I'll be getting some more of your books soon, you really know your stuff." -- Edgar Ibarra
