Ups and Downs, but generally down

The book covers a wide range of topics with some decent, but out-dated examples. As a collective whole, this writing will get you thinking. However, some suggestions provided are impractical and simply not effective enough to warrant implementation. Providing pros and cons in the majority of examples provides some jewels of information and things to think about, but it does not live up to the massive amount of difficult, wordy reading involved or the overly verbose samples.

I was able to take some things away from this book, but not nearly enough to warrant recommending it.

Sorry guys, it's a dud.
