Title: Hard to find information
Review: It is hard for me to imagine how they managed to publish four editions before this book. The index is terrible; it frequently refers to pages that then refer you to other pages for more information. The index should refer you to the primary location in the first place, and maybe other locations as an after-thought, not the other way around.The overall format of the book also seems to be haphazard, as if the authors did not know which direction to pursue. Granted, there is a lot of information, but it is difficult to decipher.I have enjoyed other Deitel&Deitel; programming books, and was looking forward to reviewing this one. However, now that I have, I can not recommend it.
Is the review positive or negative?
