Query: Confusorama....

Have you ever been so deep into the trees that you cannot see the forest?That is what this book does to you. It guides you in creating connections in many ways (code, explorer, IDE) same for adapters, connections etc. you understand each step, you build an application, but then you ask yourself WHAT DID I JUST LEARN? NOTHING!!!!What is the relationship between this object and that? don't know.. where did this object come from? don't know..... on and on..The examples are not "evolutionary" i.e. they don't start with a simple example and keep adding on to it. Instead each chapter has a separate example, you HAVE TO load it from disk, many of the concepts used in the example are foreign to you -- you are consistently promised to understand the missing links in other chapters-- and then you are expected to understand what you are doing when the example has one concept to teach you and 10 others that are foreign????!!!!!
