1.0 out of 5 stars Most of the codes in the book do not work, December 19, 2008

It is absolutely unforgivable for this book to be published given that most of the examples in the book do not work. The public should demand its money.

Very well- written book, in friendly style. Minor criticism is too much advanced topic matter (custom class definitions, etc) with some of the basics skipped over. Very helpful to this beginner though, very useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most of the codes in this book work for me, August 7, 2009

By	Ronald Gould (Nashville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think it is a very good book for the people has some experience in the object oriented programming. The most of the codes are working for me especially chapter 13 Case Study. I hope I can find the codes for chapter 14 from internet.
