Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: I generally believe the Wiley Computer Bible series is outstanding. The in-depth coverage of the various programs, excellent examples, and broad scope of information is tremendous. This book, however, is proving to be very disappointing. The coverage of topics is incomplete and many subjects are not even discussed. A significant omission is the data-related component category, which given the sparse documentation elsewhere, was a primary reason I purchased this book. I find myself reading the free Adobe Flash 8 PDF files instead of this book. Granted, I don't expect this book to rehash what's already available at Adobe's web site or in the help files, but I do expect a Wiley Bible book to provide a clear and thorough explanation of topics which augment and expand upon the program's free documentation, giving me valuable insight and examples. All in all, this book is proving to be a better door stop than a comprehensive and useful reference book.
Is the review positive or negative?
