โฆ Synopsis
This book is now classified by the publisher as "out of print" and this is a reprint. I just got off the phone with Prentice Hall, and the CD-ROM does NOT come with the book, regardless what the Amazon listing says.
My lowered rating does not reflect the quality or content of the book, rather a gaping omission on the part of the publisher. The CD is integral to the material in the book.
Luckily - it is rather easy to download most of the tools that the book references.
