Es un buen libro pero la versión de audiolibro es muy mala

El material que presenta el libro en sí es muy bueno, está estructurado y va de lo general a lo específico. El problema del Abundio libro es que hace referencia a link o diagramas que no están en el PDF de acompañamiento, lo que lo hace inútil en algunas secciones, si estás interesado en este audiolibro te recomiendo leer el libro mejor.
