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.

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.

2ND EDITION NOW OFFERS ANSWER KEYS
AND ADDITIONAL WORKBOOK FOR EXTRA EXERCISES

GREAT IMPROVEMENT

This book is for the class room (only) this is not for self study.A good book. But was a wast of my money. As i wanted a self study book.

I gave this book only three stars because It does'nt have the answers. I have searched for an instructors manual thinking there were answers in it but there is no instructors manual.
To anyone out there who knows how to get the answers please write in.

AH! This book was SO frustrating! Took this class distance and had a terrible time! I am very self motivated and have taken distance classes before, usually no problem working through a book--but this one was so vague in areas that it made doing the exercises impossible. No answer key to check your work, and if you get an instructor like mine (who didn't seem to have the time to teach anything indepth) it will make using the book worthless. This book only left me with a very basic understanding and looking to a future in coding, I transferred to another college that uses different resources.

Although this book contains some very good information & excellent workbook exercises, it does not include answers to any of the exercises.

I purchased this book thinking that it would be a good self-study tool, but it is basically worthless for studying on your own. Unless you need it for a class, skip this one...
