Practical examples demonstrate the most important points
The author first discusses how to write computer code using HTML as a concrete example.

After illustrating how to extract data from a relational database using SQL, the book presents tools and techniques for searching, sorting, tabulating, and manipulating data. It also introduces some very basic programming concepts as well as the R language for statistical computing. Each of these topics has supporting chapters that offer reference material on HTML, CSS, XML, DTD, SQL, R, and regular expressions.

The look of tablet is not impressive but according to its price its not so bad. The main thing is that it has a slow processor that can't able to run most android apps smoothly. This tablet is not for tech guys or geeks or gadgets fans but if you are a student then this is not so bad for you.
