2.0 out of 5 stars WASTE OF MONEY, October 9, 2002

Barb Wagner - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering Coding: Tools, Techniques, and Practical Applications, 1e (Paperback)

Excellent instruction and practice pages, but without answers it is totally useless. This book should be sold to schools only, or should at least indicate that it is intended to be used in the classroom. I see that others have made similar comments. I just wish they had commented earlier so I could have saved my money. For anyone considering this book...DON'T...especially if you are planning to do self-study.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Answers, September 12, 2002

"redgee3" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mastering Coding: Tools, Techniques, and Practical Applications, 1e (Paperback)

As others have stated this book contains no answers, so the exercises really don't help much. I contacted the publisher to find out how I could obtain the answers. I was told this is strictly a student text and that an instructer's manual was needed to gain the answers. Great...NO Why? because only an educational institution can order the instruction manual. I think it would be nice if Amazon included that in their description.
