Too many words, not enough ideas or pictures.
Relationships are best illustrated with pictures, not paragraphs.
The first half of the book is academic blah-de-blah regarding an overly stifled waterfall model of development. The interesting parts don't come until 1/2 way through the book. Most "dummies" would be bored out of their gord by then.
Good examples are needed for many of the academic concepts presented only in the abstract in paragraphs. Again, who's got time for words when a picture could illustrate the (currently unillustrated) point.
