No, I think it was a different book. Unfortunately I am not even sure if it was written in English or German language. I would guess German, as I was really not good at English at that time, but maybe it was written in an very easy form of English. It was a thick book, maybe 400 to 500 pages, and I think not hard-cover but paperback. One example code that I remember well was a short code fragment that calculated the weekday from a date. And the funny fact was that the author had to admit that he did not understood how exactly that code worked, that code segment was really surprisingly short.
But maybe it is better to do not really search for that book again -- I might be dissapointed when reading it again.
