 Misleading... June 25, 2008
1 out of 4 found this review helpful
Well, it's a great book, but it is rather misleading, when you expect with a 30 usd budget to by DarkBASIC Classic rather then the foolishly expensive brother version, DarkBASIC Pro. And when you get the book you become pissed off because you read the goody goodies, until you reach the words DarkBASIC Pro! Trust me, that was my thoughts! I was like, YAY, a cheap book for DarkBASIC Classic... But hell no! I get this book on DB Pro! The title is very misleading...
