Why don't I buy tech books anymore?
Anyhow, before spending beaucoup bucks on this book, I decided to check it out at the local Barnes and Noble (where it was $50 instead of $34 on Amazon). After about 15 minutes of browsing through this book, I have mixed feelings. The content is good, but I feel like he doesn't really get into the details of a lot of serious stuff like app partitioning and packaging. Of course I haven't seen a book yet that does a better job. Maybe this is so hard that no one has a good answer how to do it. Maybe it is just not something that sells books. The long and short of it, I passed on the book. Although I liked the Kandinsky on the cover and the little intros and segues. It reminds me of the school textbooks my dad had in the Soviet Union. They always gave you a little historical context about whatever math or science topic they introduced. So that you learned a little about Pythagoras and Archimedes instead of just studying triangles or water displacement.
