Abstract

As a person personally involved with computer books for many years, I have seen the following complaints about most computer books:

  • Errors

  • A feeling of incomplete discussion of topics

  • Topics not covered

In addition to those three problems, there is one very nasty reality many computer books face (especially application-focused books such as this one): within 6 months, a sizable amount of information contained within it could be outdated due to software updates.
