I do not know who came up with the idea behind ASP, JSP and PHP, but I believe they should be flogged. The whole concept of mixing HTML and program code in such a tight manner is a big step back in time. Whatever happened to the well-established principle of separation of presentation, logic and data? I am aware that the software engineering elite have recognized this mistake and that there are new approaches being promoted (such as the much-hyped Apache Struts project, or the more consequent and less-hyped Apache Tapestry project) and that JSP's flaws are constantly being fixed (resulting in a completely different version every year), but this will take ages to reach the mainstream. I will be left to struggle with ASP, JSP and PHP at work for years to come. Thanks a lot.

Some TV critics complained that nothing ever happened to Jerry, Elaine, Kramer and George, and that it was a show was about nothing. If so, this book is even worse, as it does not even include Elaine, Kramer and George. It is just a collection of Jerry Seinfeld monologues, like the ones in the show's opening sequences. While I found the book funny at times, it does not size up against either the show or a Dilbert book.
