Interesting, fun, but wasting space

I like several of the ideas; I thought hockey would be good, but it is pong.

The robot and web browser are very interesting ideas. You can really think of things to do with these.

The ideas and examples would have given this book a higher rating but there were a couple problems that I list below.

Bad ideas of the writer; first is listing the main functions for class. First the method names and parameters and return types doesn't really help. It just took up space.

Second bad thing is the way code is shown in the book, here are pieces of the code, now filling in other pieces, and just continuing along those lines. I would prefer the entire program and list the line numbers, in writing just identify the line numbers.

I think every chapter would be about a fifth the size if the code didn't extend so long and the class methods were delete.
