Response to: Beware!

Rating:  StarStarStarStarStar

The reviewer who said 'Beware' not only didn't read the book (as he readily admits) but didn't read the description thoroughly. Here is the offending line:


Even with the trend toward high-level development, either through web software (such as PHP) or managed code (C#), someone still has to write the PHP interpreter and the C# virtual machine


This book in no way covers C# or PHP. It is strictly system level programming in C.
