There are many books about topics and disciplines in Information Technology. But most books concentrate on a single area. This book is an exception - it looks at three disciplines and ties them together. Excellent idea. Congratulations to Koray for putting this book together, and also for his generosity in donating profits to schools.

Koray does a great job of using clever, insightful metaphors to illustrate concepts. He writes in an accessible, easy-to-read style. I hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I did.

In his book Koray uses two phrases again and again. The first is Quality is not tested, but built. The other phrase is … should first be handled as a people issue rather than a technology issue. To those in the IT world who need an understanding of these principles, I recommend this book.
