Within that domain is found the key to performing common tasks. The team of authors has provided “recipes” under each domain. These “recipes” indicate, using examples, how common tasks are to be performed. The solutions provided within each recipe are backed by theory and explanations which enable the reader to understand and arrive at a solution quickly.
