Negative Positive
Title: Rush to publish!
Review: Although the book is readable and avoids the geekspeak often found in programming books, there are too many glaring errors in this first edition. If you precisely follow the instructions, even the universal "Hello World" program does not work. True , you only have to change a tab index number to zero but nothing of this is mentioned and an "absolute beginner" will find this frustrating. There are multiple other errors and omissions that lead one to believe that there was a rush to get this book out there first. I would suggest waiting for the second edition or purchasing a book that has been proofread more closely.
