Title: Almost nothing you couldn't find elsewhere
Review: I got this book since it was required for a UI class. I read it cover-to-cover before class started to get ahead, and was thoroughly disappointed. There are a few interesting things, but nothing a good professor won't cover in just as much detail in class (and will likely do so in a more useful, applied manner). Quite honestly, this is a boring read lacking quality information, and I have since sold the book. Compared to my love of the networking, os and compiler books, my appreciation for this book is nil. I keep Software Engineering 8 around since it is a useful resource in many ways, and even that book trumps this UI book by far. I would personally avoid buying this book if possible.
Is the review positive or negative?
