3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the Mark, April 4, 2000
This review is from: Graphics Programming With Java Second Edition/Book and Cd-Rom (Graphics Series) (Paperback)
Mr. Stevens does indeed have a deep knowledge of graphics, but less so of Java and, shall we say, the Java 'way.'

I have already seen most of the solutions and algorithms put forth here in Mr. Stevens' previous books (C-oriented). They have been somewhat updated to take advantage of Java's graphics capability.

If you are looking for a first book to help you begin to understand graphics, fine. This is for you, and Java is probably a good language for that.

However, if you are looking to become a better _Java_ graphics programmer, use other sources. Many of the programming idioms here seem like holdovers from procedural programming days.
