This book has so many (exhaustive) comment blocks for example Javascript functions that most often the comment block is 10 times longer than the javascript code itself. Wading through it is a tremendous pain. Good code is self-documenting.


More often than not, there is not much real instruction but a lot of extremely verbose commentary about boring stuff that is (or should be) obvious to anyone who has written code for more than a year or two.


Everything that was said in this book could have been condensed into a book 1/3 the size and 1/3 the cost. I will be trying to see if B&N will let me return it.
