I too bought this book for its coverage of RDO. Yes there are a few issues related to it's early release date (it takes about 15 minutes to update every rdoPreparedStatement reference in the book to rdoQuery). And there is a little code debugging. But, on the positive side, it does provide some really great examples to get you going with RDO. I have found it to be one of the most helpful books I own. Those folks, who tossed it without really seeing what it has to offer, lost out.

If the previous reviewers could look past the end of their noses, they would see that there is a lot of worth while coding examples in this book. The problem definitions are clear and the solutions work. Many of the problems that the previous reviewers found could easily be changed. Maybe they just need to be a little less wet behind the ears and realize that no matter what book they buy, they are going to have to pick and choose and modify what they use. There's a step by step 21 day book out there if that's what you want.
