Did anyone out there also buy the Palm webOS Rough Cuts from Safari. I must say, I have read many programming books in many languages, but this one rates 0 on a scale of 1-10. I mean, I really have to struggle to figure out what he's talking about, though I have a basic knowledge of Javascript. It's basicaly a list of instructions, with zero explanation of what is going on I could do that from the API. A book is supposed to help you understand. Did anyone else have these feelings, or am I starting to lose it in old age? In addition, all the books I have read, though they sometimes assume you have basic knowledge in a base language, they still reference you along the way, using sidebars or the like, but not here. They seem to expect you to have ADVANCED knowledge of HTML, DHTML, JAVASCRIPT, AJAX and more. I believe even for the advanced there is missing. For example, it starts using the "this" object extensivly, without explaining to what object the "this" is refering to, when used in the context of a "View". In the same way, they use the "div" all over. Well, the "div" is used very often in HTML, but not in the way they use it. I had to break my head to figure out what and why they are using all those "divs" for. A little explanation would go a long way. Sorry, just rattling off my feelings....
