In each Little Book we aim to give you just the stuff you really need to get straight to the heart of the matter without all the fluff and padding. Each book comes with a  free source code archive which can be downloaded from the Bitwise Books web site.

We know that there is plenty of information online about standard code libraries, so we don’t fill the pages of these books by duplicating that information. Instead, we aim to explain the really important details that you need to gain a solid understanding of each subject and start hands-on programming as quickly as possible.
