I found this really useful to highlight and make notes in while reading the course online at the net academy web site. I originally was taking tons of notes in a notebook - so this really saved me the time of writing out all the information I wanted to stress, and has been a great study tool for me as I go through my course.
My complaint about this book is that it doesn't include any of the online figures which contain a lot of very important information. There are notes in the book saying "Refer to figure in online course" and "refer to worksheet in online course" all over the book. It also doesn't contain any information about the labs, worksheets or tracer activities. Any of these additions would have been very helpful.
Despite the exclusion of the figures throughout the text, I found this a useful tool in getting through my chapters and taking exams.
