Negative Positive
Title: As Is no Warranty
Review: This book contains a lot of useful information in the way of sample code. Unfortunately the sample code has little in the way of step by step explanations. If I wanted to wade through someone elses code figuring it out for myself I would go to the Online archives. This book is absolutely not for the beginner and will make an intermediate think twice about what you've gotten yourself into. There are also many errors in the index which makes looking up information quite difficult as well. In all I would say it's a decent book but it could have been put together a lot better and could have provided readers with better explanations of what was going on in the samples. One section around page 200 has 3 pages of text followed by 29 pages of Code then followed up with 3 more pages of text. I really feel that code imbedded comments are not sufficient when readers are trying to fully understand the programming language.
Is the review positive or negative?
