Customer Reviews

Strongly recommended

The book holds the hand of the naif reader from the very first page to the end, when the reader is no longer a naif one but a good practitioner. Very good examples and exercises. Few of listed features regarding some searching engines are no longer up-to-date (as in Altavista or Google, just to mention a few) but this is quite inevitable for a book published in 2003. If I can suggest an improvement to the author: provide web exempla too from non-English speaking countries as France, Germany, Italy and Spain. It could enlarge even more the number of readers.
