Questions
What readers ask most about the books, with a short answer.
Do I need to be able to program?
The book is written for people who want the work done. Every pattern has an example from another trade: a bookkeeper, a photographer, a lawyer and a builder all run into the same questions.
Is it for me, in my trade or role?
Yes, if your work comes back again and again: checking quotes, reconciling invoices, sorting mail, making a schedule. The patterns are about the work itself, and each chapter shows how it plays out in another trade.
