Negative Positive
Title: Poorly written. Majority is source listing. conveys litte ideas. cryptic
Review: Mr. Mak may have been a great coder, thinker and mentor at BroadVision and Apple. He, however, should not write any more books. He is a bad communicator. I'd rather see his talent used elsewhere.The majority of this yellowpage thick book is the source listing. The book comments prior to listing the source snippet, rather than conveying the idea behind the construction.If it intended to be tutorial, it is a bad, cryptic one. It it's meant to be something else, it's neither an overview nor a comprehensive reference. The content is unfocused.I have an analogy: This book is like an unusable GUI written by a geek as opposed to the good one crafted by a cognitive scientist or HCI expert.
