A friend of mine in Boise is a veterinarian and although our town is filled with adventurers he is at the top of the list of those who end up on some of the most far flung ones. He recently sent me a book about...
This book was written by the same authors as the blockchain book I recently read. I enjoyed their writing style and the layout of the first book so I decided to give this one a go. Learning about technology, or anything new, keeps my mind...
