Customer Reviews

1.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could give it a Negative 5 Star, October 23, 2008
This review is from: Enterprise Ajax LiveLessons (Video Training): Building Robust Ajax Applications (Paperback)
The entire live lessons consist of Cheesy, second-rate powerpoint slides that don't show virtually any code, no implementation of the code, while the authors just talk. Basically all you are paying for is someone to read a short book for you. Seriously, it consists of nothing more than someone reading a powerpoint presentation.

Stay far away from this video/book. You will be exceedingly sorrowful after purchasing this piece of junk. DO NOT BUY IT.

As far as the bonus material... it consists of a coupon, so you can buy more JUNK videos.

This is by far the worst purchase I have ever made in the over 10 years I have been buying programming books and if I was one of the authors of this material, I would feel downright ashamed and embarrased for having my name on it. This is simply a money-grabber.

DO NOT BUY!
