Negative Positive
Title: Very unprofessionally presented,insistent, difficult to read
Review: I bought this book hoping that it would be as helpful as other SAMS's "Teach yourself..." publications. However, even I know other web programming languages such as HTML, ASP and JavaScript, I found this book very difficult to read and understand.It contains codes that were poorly presented and with syntax errors (has this book been proofread at all?). It doesn't explain the concept behind the code and tend to write long, complicate statements where a short, simple one will do.I tried very hard but have to give up after reading one quarter of the book. Until now I still don't have a clear picture of how to structure a XML code, and the more I read, the more questions remain unanswered. Now I am looking for another XML book and probably have to start from the beginning.
Is the review positive or negative?
