Electronic Imaging Systems is well organized and covers all the right topics. That's the good news. The bad news is that the book is very spotty: Authoritative, well-focused sections are intermixed with irrelevancies and misinformation. Further, the book wanders from topic to topic and occasionally serves up observations that appear to have been translated poorly fro
m another language. For example, "Even for the fastest computers, getting data in and out of stored memory is as slow as the spin of a disk."
In the case of the book by Daniel Minoli (which is misnamed Imaging in Corporate Environments), an evenly weighted, comprehensive approach to the subject of electronic imaging was traded for a series of technically authoritative essays. That's the bad news. The good news is that the topics are appropriately selected, and the presentation of the material and analysis are generally superlative.

My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
