From the reviews:
Holt provides a convincing argument by showing how one can accomplish this by using the J programming language. ... The book ends with an appendix including the J scripts used and a list of abbreviations. Overall, this is a concise, interesting, and easy-to-read book, full of specific applications ... therefore, it should be especially accessible and useful to practitioners in the networking field.
