Entry 1285

Oh no, the Deitels are at it again. Via the Python Daily-URL, Python How to Program. Notice the "introducing XML" on the cover? In their C++ version of the book, they have "with UML" featured prominently on the cover, yet I couldn't find where they actually covered it in the book! At least they seem to cover XML in this book, just going by the table of contents.

Also notice the "Bonus" chapters, which have practically nothing to do with Python, including "26. Bonus: Introduction to XHMTL [sic]: Part I." (typo). And since when is "Cascading Style Sheets™ (CSS)" trademarked?

I really hate the Deitel books. I won't call them useless, but they're close to it.
