Well written, but not JBuilder-centric,
By
This review is from: Borland JBuilder Developer's Guide (Paperback)
The book's stated audience is intermediate to advanced level Java programmers, yet 75 percent of the book is an introductory tutorial on how to write Java applications, not how to use JBuilder. The first 200 pages were JBuilder-specific, well written, and they got me up to speed quickly with using the enterprise edition. The rest of the book was not at all helpful - I bought the book to learn to use JBuilder effectively, and learn some tips and tricks from those who have been using it for some years, not how to use JDBC and IO.I also found the section on JBuilder's data-aware components to be severely lacking. JBuilder obviously has a robust toolset, and a quick explanation of two of the provided components was inadequate. The inconsistency in the "In Practice" sections was also disturbing. A product of several authors, but it would have been too easy to notice and solve this problem to be forgiven. All that said, the book is well written and organized, hence the 3 star rating. But beware of the stated intended audience and book content before you buy.

JBuilder: Developer's Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Borland JBuilder Developer's Guide (Paperback)
The instruction presented in this guide is easy to conceptualize. The structure allows for the reader to build upon knowledge gained from not only the topics contained in this guide, but additionally outside instruction. The example codes presented range in difficulty so that the reader is able to understand and develop a range of skills. This book would be excellent for core instruction or as a supplement.

So So book but not a lot of competition,
By Robert Barry (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Borland JBuilder Developer's Guide (Paperback)
I have never seen a book which so often would reference a topic or word or idea that it goes on to explain LATER in the book or section. Weird. It does seem comprehensive but not a easy read or anything. I have read better. I am glad, though, that it is NOT JBuilder specific because I am just learning JAVA and it is good to have JAVA information rather than just JBuilder interface information.
