Inhaltsangabe

The Garage series is a new street smart series of books about technology built

on the premise that technical books don't have to be boring, or be written in

the impersonal voice of an all-powerful narrator. They are characterized by an

edgy, fun, active-voice writing style and, rather than presenting a technology in

a linear tutorial style, are organized into useful topics. They are irreverent,

culturally rooted, and present each author's unique take on solving problems in

a format meant to replicate the experience of searching the Internet for

solutions.
