Confusing and Useless

This book is at best a jumble of words with a few readable sentences, and at worst could be written in greek for all the good it does. Without a clear path, the book bounces around off different subjects, and all to often goes ahead of itself in the examples. NOTHING is more anoying then finding a piece of code that you've never seen, and isn't explained for another 4 chapters afterwords. Especially in the first few sections its not uncomon to find an 'ignore this line "..." you'll find out what its for later'. On the upside, it has very few typo's, which doesn't help much as the chapters are so confusing. The best part of this book would have to be its analogies, which are amazingly sensable, such as relating objects and classes to bicycles (One class, 'bicycle' objects of the class such as 'racing' or 'mountain'). In all, its a bit above average but there are much better choices out there for the same price
