Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2014
The book covers a lot of territory. Jesse really tries to teach you a lot. Unfortunately, there are so many inconsistencies in the text and the code, that it becomes an exercise in chasing down bugs in the book. And it seems to get worse the farther into the book you go. I had to frequently refer to the code samples available for download to compare with the code I wrote and the code in the book. I got through it and have a working App, but I cannot recommend this book unless they fix the inconsistencies.
