O'Reilly should really release a second edition of this book with reformatted code. Single-line comments are expanded into seven lines because they put asterisks and newlines around everything. It makes the code very difficult to follow.


This is inexcusable, especially coming from a publisher with the reputation of O'Reilly. Please guys, redo this book! The material is excellent, but the source code is almost unusable.
