Negative Positive
Title: Clear and detailed.
Review: This is definitely one of the better programming books. Some authors seem to take delight in making a topic much more complicated than it really is. Others (and these are the bad ones) will treat a subject in a glancing sort of way, giving you fragmented information which is worse than none because it makes you mad. With tear-stained cheeks and grinding teeth, you are then condemned to the darkness of Microsoft Documentation: there to wander, desperate and confused. For how long? Hours? Days, perhaps?This book goes a much better job. Mr. McManus does not play puzzle games with the reader. He takes each topic and -- surprise -- he explains it. There are tons of examples on the CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
