This book is exactly what its title says it is: a reference book of code to copy and paste. It contains declarations of elements of a language, as well as custom-built functions for some actions for creating professional applications.
The book offers very limited theoretical information. This is because the author believes that there are already quite a few books that are heavy on theory, whereas there still aren’t many books that would offer the reader an opportunity to use already designed “bricks” of code. The book's hands-on approach allows the user to speed up the time required for developing his or her applications.
Of course, the author could not collect pieces of code for myriads of possible scenarios, but maybe the reader would find something in this book that he or she would use.
