If you enjoyed this book, you might like other books I have written. I have written these short guides to focus on specific niches and make them brief enough to read in a short space of time, but also detailed enough that they offer a lot of value. I have released books, such as: A Gentle Introduction to Agile Software Development A Gentle Introduction to Lean Software Development A Gentle Introduction to Speaking in Public A Gentle Introduction to Beating Procrastination and Getting Focused A Gentle Introduction to Agile and Lean Software Development A Gentle Introduction to Social Engineering Attack and Prevention
