Title: Avoid this book
Product review: Save yourself the time, enegry and money you would have wasted on this book. The author is obviously NOT a programmer, and does not understand basic coding principles. He doesn't explain why things work. If you couldn't read between the lines, you might come away thinking things like variables must be encapsulated in + signs, or the parameter order used in a substring is unimportant. I must say the worst is a clock example that has a seperate if statement for every minute and hour (72+). Several of his examples don't work and interestingly, many that don't are not even on the web site that supposedly mirrors the book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
