The closer I was to the end of the book the more disappointed and annoyed I became. The reason: the later chapters were poorly written and not very readable, they seemed to have no connection to the earlier chapters. Here is an example: in Chapter 16, under Opening and Reading Registry Values, the example used Reference, arrow pointer (->), and Object Method. None of these concepts were introduced in previous chapters or explained here. Making things worse, none of these can be found in the index. A few very scatchy descriptions may exist for some (e.g. Reference) in later chapters, but they were not very clear either. It looked like that the chapters were independently written and the authors just didn't bother to correlate the contents. The early chapters were OK. The later chapters need significant improvement for this book to be used as a learning text. |
