Title: Overly wordy
Product review: Oh my gosh this book is sooooo wordy. It's 800 pages long, yet it probably could be condensed to less than 600, all without the loss of clarity. The authors explain everything to an excruciating degree, and often times things are repeated over and over again. For example, on page 194, a sentence reads:"Web servers typically spawn a new process or create a new thread for each new client connection".And then, only two sentences later, the authors write:"Web servers often use only one process, but create a new thread with a new connection socket for each new client connection"I'm not saying that this book should be written so as to be as precise as good code, but oh my gosh, spare us the overbearing details. Just give us the facts, please, and dispense with the jargon!
