Negative Positive
Title: Substandard
Review: I frankly thougt it was a waste of money. When the first preogramming sample/example doesn't bother to tell you the basics, such as how and where to declare the variable so that the program will actually work, you know not enough thought was put into it. I often find the author's train of thought changing direction or jumping track completely; demonstrating ideas or features that he doesn't explain in full until several chapters ahead.This book will be confusing to a programmer with experience in another language and impossible for the first-time programmer. Mr. McKelvy et. al., you have got to be able to do better than this!I gave it two stars because the back cover and the snippets I read got me to believe this book was actually useful.
Is the review positive or negative?
