The development and design, chapter 23, is most helpful for junior programmers and maybe advanced ones too. The book moves along a bit fast for a novice programmer. Each chapter contains many code examples. The end of each chapter has an advice section that I think is exceptional. Those advice nuggets help in making program design decisions, and provide guidelines for code usage.
Most chapters have exercises to perform, but no answer section.
Last but certainly not least, the index is 50 pages double column. While this book is very terse, it certainly covers the subject. All rights reserved. Articles contained herein by authors from other organizations retain their original copyright. Site assistance by CitiVU .
