1.0 out of 5 stars Spend the money, and buy another book!, May 19, 2002
By 
"philippe_conway" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Java 2 Toolkit for Dummies (Paperback)
This book is honestly the worst programming book I have ever read in my entire life. I've been programming with other languages for years, and never have I had a more horrible experience learning from a book. I thought that being a "Dummy Book" that it would be easy, but I was wrong. The author makes it hard to understand...And the REAL kicker is that the example code included on the CD ROM for the book, does not even match the code that is in the book! Some of the code that is written in the book will not even compile with out errors. Please, do yourself a favor, and do not buy this book.

Most of the information contained in the book can be located online for FREE! Don't waste your money, instead learn how to search the net for programming tips and tutorials.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book for People New to Java or Programming, October 27, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Java 2 Toolkit for Dummies (Paperback)
I have some experience with programming (from school and from a few programs back in the 80s and early 90s.) but did not have any object oriented programming experience. This book brings you up to speed on OOP and teaches Java at a very basic level. I was able to skim through the sections that were too basic and learn what I needed to learn. Lots of great utilities on the CDs. You don't have to shop around -- one set of books and software will get you started. If you like Java programming, you can move onto other tools or get the professional versions of the software provided. Great package for the beginner or for a refresher!
