I have to disagree somewhat. It is true that there are occasions when the

authors plop down a buncha code and just say "type it in", but, more often than

not, if you work your way through the book from the beginning, you'll find that

they take the time to explain what the code is doing ... not line-for-line, but

enough that if you've programmed in any other language, you should be able to

follow.
