Negative Positive
Title: Good intentions but not very pedagogical. Too confusing for beginners.
Review: This claims to be aimed towards absolute beginners.While I admire the intentions of this book, it fails to deliver since it is not at all pedagogical enough to be for absolute beginners.Having programmed some Assembler and Basic back in the Amiga-days, even I was just able to follow along halfway. Then, about in the middle of the book, it turns too complex and confusing too quickly.I found 'Beginning Ruby: From Novice to Professional' to be much easier to follow than this book.But still, credits to the author for good intentions.
Is the review positive or negative?
