Negative Positive
Title: Poorly produced, rushed to market
Review: This book should have never been published in suchhaste. The author lightly grazes on important topics,offering just tidbits but nothing significant. Very few peopleuse the C API, I don't see any point in wasting space on this.The images are terrible, lack detail, hard-to-follow and most are in black and white. The 'Suggested Activities', 'Summary'and 'Related Commands' sections at the end of each chapter are a joke and are merely page fillers. Surprising that Springer-Verlag would let such a low quality publication slip through.
