NetMasterLabs are hard. However, their explanations are very detailed,
and there answer key has detailed explanations for each and everyone of
their labs all the way from Lab 1 to Lab 25. Additionally their labs are
very well debugged. A number of other labs that I have done from other
workbook vendors have lot's of typos, NetMaster is very clean.
Sincerely,
Bill
