Title: A Decent Intro to RB
Review: Unlike some other reviewers, I did not find this book to be the "worst programming book ever". Rather, it was concise and practical. If it wasn't a "dummies" book, I might be upset. The author covers the basics in a clear fashion and provides easy-to-understand examples.Sure, the book has a few errors, but what books don't? The 1st edition of Neuburg's "Definitive Guide" had a pile of errors that dwarfed the list of errors in this book. After I read this book, I could at least put together some simple applications. In contrast, after wandering through Neuburg's tome, I was left scratching my head. What the heck was that guy talking about?Dummies books have never been about super detailed, in depth coverage of topics. Rather, they get you going in short order. REALbasic for Dummies delivers. If you're a "pro", maybe this book isn't for you. If you're a newcomer, I'd say "dive in!".
