Lazy Writing will Leave you Confused

Although this book touches on subjects that are interesting, he's very lazy in how he approaches the topics. What I mean is that he ends his sections leaving you wanting more. Here's an example where he's supposed to be explaining how to hit Google's Web service with XML. He ends the section with this paragragh:

"Next the wsm_doGoogleSearch method submits the search to Google. That method takes a lot of arguments and returns a structure, which is defined in another proxy class so you need to use SET to perform assignment. Similarly, you need to use SET to get elements from the result."

THAT'S IT!! He ends the section just like that; no follow up or further explanation! This is just one example of how things in this book are only half explained. Meanwhile, the reader is left confused.
