What I expected was a guide to SharePoint workflows with easy-to-follow examples. What I found was the illusion of easy-to-follow examples, but the first practical hands-on example was so riddled with typos, missing instructions, and errors, I was unable to successfully create the intended workflow. At this point, I am unlikely to continue with the book, and would never recommend this as a learning tool.
While the accompanying website wrox.com does have a section dedicated to the book's errata, I feel it is beyond my responsibilities as a reader to have to navigate through these to try and make sense of Chapter Three's detailed technical implementation (or the first lab, in simpler terms). Obviously all books of a technical nature are subject to the odd typo or error, and I can be forgiving in these instances. However, as the authors indicate that the workflows generated by following these pages will be utilized in later labs, I feel justified in expecting that more careful attention should have been paid to the numerous documented errors between pages 42-46, which make this chapter virtually incomprehensible.
