Summary: What the F**K?
Review: I had the same problem as a few other people in that following the code exactly for programs 1 and 2 they DID NOT work. I bought this book only a year ago so I shouldn't have gotten a bad CD but I must have gotten an old copy. Ventana is gone and the update obviously doesn't work - I am pissed that I am out the $$ for a bad book. It should have been a great book, however it falls far short as the CD is useless which makes the book just as useless.

Summary: A Very Useful Book
Review: Once you figure the problem with the CD, everything works just fine. I was able to use the provided codes to develop other real life application programs.

Summary: Good Information, Bad CD
Review: This is a case where the publisher has really messed up. From the other reviews I've read, some of the readers weren't able to get a replacement CD since some of the books went out with bad CDs. Although Ventana online no longer exists, the author has made replacement files available. I've found the book to be very useful once I got replacement files.
