I bought this book for my advance coding class. This book is definitely not for a beginning or immediately coder. My classmates and I learned nothing from this book. It's not a text book, but it's more like a work book. There are many deferent types of chart noted that you can practice coding in this book. But again, if you want to learn something new or tricks for coding, this is not your book.

ordered for a frind and it was used to pass the classes so I guess it was a good book.

Helps a lot

Its seems like the kind of outpatient workbook I've been looking for, as i want to get into hospital coding. There isn't an updated addition, but coding is coding. Iol
