Title: This passes for a college text book?
Review: I am currently using this book in college, and I find so many errors and inconsistencies, it drives me nuts.I write reviews for textbooks regularly so I realize I have a different perspective then an 18yo thinking the teacher and the book are "all knowing"; but I am surprised that teachers pick this book, or at least don't account for the poorly written text.Often, if I want to understand what the text is talking about, I go to Wikipedia, or a computer forum, and find out what the book was trying to explain.I imagine if I were a computer savvy person, the book would not bother me, but being that it is considered a beginning computer book, and an intro to computer science, I find that it aggravates me more the educates me.
Is the review positive or negative?
