Online Content
I am the author, so I'm rating the book three, not because that's what I think it is, but because it's in the middle. I'll see whether I can get a comment added as author or otherwise update the page when Amazon gets back to me.

It appears that the online content isn't what at least one reader wanted it to be. It's chronological by date, so that readers can follow along which files changed as we went forward, and it sounds like at least one reader wanted the final version. My mistake: I wasn't expecting that.

I'm not sure why -- the point of the book is to follow along on how we develop, not really to provide a handy-dandy XML editor -- but if this reader or any other wants a final snapshot of the files, they should email me at ronjeffries at acm dot org and I'll gladly send them along. And I'll see whether we can add another batch of files to the online content.

Thanks for the feedback.

Abysmal Failure in Content
It would be nice if the content that is provided on the Website would actually include all the files necessary to validate the final version.

It's missing so many files that it took about an hour to recreate manuall from the book.

I just don't get it. All that time spent on the book and to put shoddy bits out for the readers. I question the author's ability and his whole approach to XP if he fails in this one great measure of quality - making sure it works when it gets to the users.
