5.0 out of 5 stars
Technology stated in refreshingly simple terminology
The author does an excellent job of taking even the neophyte to Java technology through an easy to understand description of the technology and why it will revolutionize business, home and personal computing. The author's sense of humor adds a great deal to the readability of an otherwise dry topic. This is the first technology book which I've sat down and read...

nice, but not a business book
the book is easy to read, and describes a number of Java implementations. It focusses on the technical part, however. This makes the information dated quickly as Java is developing. I was looking for a book to support strategic CIO decisionmaking regarding the use of Java in large corporations. I am sorry to say that this is not it.

Not a business case!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Business Case for Java (Paperback)
The title is misleading as the book fails to present a business case for the use of JAVA. Unless you work for IBM, you will find the numerous references to the AS/400e as annoying as the missing reference to the fact that SUN, not IBM, is the driving force behind JAVA. The book is repetitive and for a topic that begs the use of graphical illustrations it falls short with only two on pages 135 and 153. The author is clearly knowledgeable about information technology but seems to try too hard to make the book funny and oversimplifies many of the analogues examples. On occasion offensive, irrelevant, and condescending examples are used - ex. p. 26 on "trophy spouses"; p. 109-111 "American Revolution"; and p. 121 "I fired the bookkeeper."

This is the first technology book which I've sat down and read cover to cover and didn't want to put it down...and I've read a lot of books on technology since my degree is in computer engineering. I appreciate the demystification of technology because that is when technology becomes most useful to society and widely used. One word sums it up. Excellent.

Totally misleading - nothing resembling a business case,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Business Case for Java (Paperback)
While this book offers a much-needed overview of Java technology in a slim volume, there is nothing resembling a business case. If you know Java, appservers, EJBs, etc; this is a waste of money
