Like all of the books in our Head First series, Head First PMP implements a proven visual approach to teaching and learning. While most books use a traditional text-heavy approach, our Head First guides bring the latest learning theories and research together to create not just a book to read, but a multi-sensory learning experience. With its extensive use of icons, pictures and even cartoons, this book combines words and pictures in a playful, mixed-media style that not only helps you understand the subject, but also to remember it.
