Horribly short, massive text, and Wikipedia article summery sized chapters.
This book is not worth $20 for a softcover, and i can't even justify $10 kindle version.[edit: Book changed prices, was $25.]The amount of info in this book is ridiculously surface level and thin. You're better off looking at the table of contents, and search it up on Wikipedia. You'll get the same amount of value out of that.125 pages, each page holding grade school entry-level reading sized font. Along with 1 inch margins, huge and frequent chapter titles with large spacing above and below the text. The area of text is roughly the size of a large smart phone.To be quite honest, it feels like the author had 40 pages worth of very very surface level info about general computer science and tried to make it look like it is worth $25.for example:The chapter on AI is 6 pages long. The chapter feels like a vocab study guide. 1 of the 6 pages is just a comic style picture of a robot thinking. The amount of text that is in a chapter, could fit into a single page in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software".The networking & internet chapter breaks down the bare minimum to describe the internet. After reading that chapter, you still wouldn't know how to create, modify, or even interact with any network. It's so thin, it might as well be a course description. or what you'd read on the back of a book.I feel like i was told this book would be a nice reference book, but what i got was the quick answers from google search on paper.
