Title: Frustratingly Poor Index
Product review: The index in this book is next to useless, the index is only 4 pages long and doesn't include any standard functions. So if you want to know the various format options to printf for example, you have to leaf through to find the right page in the appendix. Once you've found the entry in the appendix, there is no summary of the function, just a prototype and a Chapter number. So to get to a good description of a function, you find the appendix, leaf through it to find the most appropriate chapter and then leaf through that chapter. Totally unacceptable for a book marketed at the experienced programmer.Sections are called "Start Up!", "Take That!" and "Go Ahead!", which illustrates how unhelpful and inappropriate the layout and format of this book is.
