Title: Waste of time, paper, and money
Review: There would be some benefit from this book if you could weed out the cutesy comments, but it's just too hard to do. On every page are numerous sentences to waste your time. When programming and studying you need to concentrate. You don't want to see "(and Santa)" when reading about clauses. There is a section called "Doing it in public" and it asks things like "Can you offer a subroutine a good home?" Hey, can you give me a break?You can't find what you want either. There are 953 pages. And the table of contents is only 2 pages. It would fit even on one page if you removed Benjamin Franklin's epitaph that takes up half of the first page. (No kidding - They really added B.F.'s epitaph to a FoxPro book.) But, a table of contents at any length is no good when the chapter titles are things like "Your server will be with you in a moment" and "OOP is not an accident." You know, "Mom was right", the section titles are even more worthless.
