Title: Already out of date
Review: While this is an interesting book, its problem is that it is already out of date. It seems that it was written at a time when the user interface was undergoing lots of churn.For example, on page 47, figure 2.1 is out of date, as the menu items have changed and the toolbar now has more items.On Page 146 and 147 the authors attempted to deal with changes in the GUI, and show us what the new print dialog box will look like, however, that version is also out of date.On Page 153, Figure 4.19 is out of date. On Page 155, Figure 4.21 no longer exists. Page 156, Figure 4.22 is out of date. Page 162, Figure 4.31 is out of date, and so on.Further on, Page 180, Figures 4.49 and 4.50 are also out of date, and it would have been nicer to show some real-life examples of problems one can spot with the Time Sequence Graphs and some explanation of how socket layer stuff relates to what you might see on the wire.So, I am not sure this book is worth buying. Perhaps wait for the update.
