I was delighted when I found out that O'Reilly had published this book, but was sorely disappointed when I actually was able to inspect the book.


I was deeply disappointed to find that the book did not cover vendor specific functions. It just listed them and directed the reader to the vendors manuals. This is not even close to being acceptable. Especially when one knows how dependant real world code is on these functions.


My suggestion to would be buyers: Forget it. Wait until they finish the book before you buy.
