3.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginner!, July 4, 2000

This review is from: Java for 3d and Vrml Worlds (Paperback)

People who willing to buy this book must have adequate background of both Java programming and VRML. This book provide the "bridge" of Java and VRML but it is not provide enough example for each topic. It mostly emphasises on theoretical not practical application. Unfortunately, there is not much book in this stream so I would say this book is okay.
