Title: Way too chatty, thin on information.
Review: I found reading this book to be a tiresome exercise in hunting down useful information spread way too thinly among a lot of useless banter. The organization is good overall but I felt talked down-to. The basic idea of the book is also a good one: to present the basic outling of mac programming in a conversational tone with as little technical jargon as possible for the uninitiated; however, each and every new concept was surrounded front and back with way too many bad jokes and "chat". I think that if all of the useful information presented were to be written in about one fifth of the space taken, it would actually be easier to absorb.
Is the review positive or negative?
