This has to be one of the worse books on this topic, I cannot believe that any fair editorial process at O'Reilly would allow this book to be published. The less than stellar one paragraph about the author Steven Douglas Olsen should have been a clue. Apart from a simple javascript example in Chapter 2, none of the code presented as examples work, or even come close to working. As of this writing, I see no corrections for code, or even where to download the code used by the author in this book. This book is a complete waste of your money, time and efforts. The 5 stars given by the first 2 reviews I saw on this site, in which the reviewers declared this book as definitive, must have been done by members of the O'Reilly staff, or by people who know nothing about coding and certainly never attempted any of the examples. Shame on you O'Reilly for scamming the public out of $30 for this travesty. I would give it no stars but sadly that was not an option. |
