Negative Positive
Title: No focus involved
Review: By the time you get a forth of the way in the book you finally start talking about WebObjects at all really. The rest talks about his version (fairly poor at that) of history and philosophies behind computers. The book is a buzzword seller, with no real value at all. He tries to impress you with a weak history and tossing of buzzwords than any real knowledge. People like him are the reason that programming jobs are going down hill. Write less code in the long run by doing it right the first time, skip this book. WebObjects will not increase development speed unless your developers are uneducated in design and coding procedures. If that is what WebObjects pushes, no wonder they are failing in the market. That is a Microsoft gimmick and has yet to work properly even for them. I am still in my quest to find what WebObjects holds in advantage to other languages and platforms. In any event, unless you don't know computers at all this book is more than a waste.
Is the review positive or negative?
