Query: Poorly written, "jumpy" explanations

The author's writing style is not only extremely poor, but confusing as he uses terminologies that a LOT of beginners may not be familiar with. You'll find yourself going over to webopedia.com for explanations for a lot of his terms which he simply mentions or just glosses over.I was forced to by this text for a college course and have found much better beginning asp.net and vb.net texts since buying it.
