Thimbleby immediately draws the reader into the subject... This reviewer found the seven chapters in this section [Principles] absolutely gorgeous. They present the fundamental toolkit of interactive programmers, provide enough information to get readers started with tools such as graphs and state-transition diagrams, and offer some excellent references for further reading. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
