> Maybe I'm missing something but they don't seem to offer the book as a searchable PDF? There seems to be a Kindle edition and paperback only.
The InformIT page linked from the review has (I'm in the US):
* book for $64
* ebook as ePub, Mobi, and PDF for $51
* book + ebook bundle for $86
The sample PDF is searchable, so I presume the full PDF is as well.
If you're looking at the Amazon listing, then no, I don't expect Amazon to offer PDFs instead of, or even in addition to, a Kindle edition. Oddly, the Kindle edition is more expensive than Amazon's paper copy, or InformIT's ebook.
Based on the sample, this looks like a nice book. It seems to have Meyers-like advice in a more concise, reference-style presentation.
It's a slight concern that all four authors are from the same department of the same company. I don't know anything about Bloomberg Development Environment, but I would be skeptical of a similar offering from, say, Google.
Thanks for that info. Definitely this looks like a useful pdf to have on hand to look stuff up with a quick search (carrying around a 1300 pg book is out of the question). I really like the code samples on the sample.
