Lack of direction; very dry and boring read.

Not only did this book fail to provide me with any succinct information with regard to the problems I'm attempting to solve, it was also a very dry and boring read. The author did not present concepts in the order in which one would regularly learn them. Given this, it is highly unlikely that the author has real world development experience.

In summary, painful book; purchase at risk to your own mental health. Oh yes, THANKS JAKE STURM.
