About the Companion CD-ROM

The inside back cover of this book contains a CD-ROM that holds many useful examples that I discuss in the text. When I write about computer- related material, I emphasize learning by example. I know that I learn more from a well-thought-out example than from reading a dozen pages in a book. I assume that this is true for many other people. Consequently, I spent more time developing the examples on the CD-ROM than I did writing chapters.

The files on the companion CD-ROM are not compressed, so you can access them directly from the CD.
