Title: Not to shabby, but I'd take the online BeBook over it...
Review: When I heard that this book was coming out, I couldn't wait to get it (in fact I pre-ordered it from Amazon). I have to admit that its a bit of a disappointment now that I've gotten through a good portion of the book.While what it does cover is explained fairly well, the book is quite weak in many areas. While it gives a fairly good introduction into programming for Be, it doesn't go into detail where it really matters. The book lacks depth when introducing the reader to the ways of the Be API. No attempt is made at explaing how to create custom controls, not to mention that the book doesn't even cover all the controls made available in the Be API. While it does offer a fairly decent explaination of some of the Interface Kit, I'd say shy away from this one and spend your money on the other BeBooks by O'Reilly.Here's to some better beginner's documentation!
