Title: Good book to get into agents
Review: I enjoyed reading this book -- particularly the humorous comments throughout that lightened up things. The example applications in almost every chapter were a good test bed to play around with and explore the concepts. I would not have understood things nearly as well without them. As the authors state, they don't teach you everything you need to know about the AI pieces, but with some digging on my own, I THINK I understand the basics enough to make progress. The UML package diagrams are worthless, and I wish the space had been used for something else -- maybe more background info or a summary of the agents in the chapter. But that is a minor complaint. I really liked the book and I'm anxious to apply some of the AI and agent techniques in my upcoming projects.
