[Igor · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is Pocket Primer as it says and in this sense it is keeping it's word. There are mistakes that can be noticed in the Regular expressions and that is happening more times. This should't happen in book for Regular expressions, because the output/result is the most important thing in Regular expressions. Also some time it fills like there are pilled up examples, more explanation will be I think better. It has some good strategies hot to solve complex Regular expressions.
