Review: This book explains the subject matter well to the beginners. However, I was very disappointed in the way examples are handled. Actual code examples are very sparse. Most of the time, the author gives few lines of code and explains what you should do next. Secondly, I found the accompanying CD of little use. To begin with, the Source code could not run on PB 5.0. It requires an earlier version. All in all the book gives a good introduction to the subject, but is not hands on.
