4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Ok! for Beginners that is, August 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Java(tm) and XML: Your visual blueprint for creating Java-enhanced Web programs (Paperback)
Well, i dont have much to say about this book. if you want to learn java and xml and you dont have lot of experience with java, this book will give you a helping hand. however, if you do have a fair amount of experience, then this book will be a little too novice style esp. since it begins with an introduction to java language itself.
So, in a nutshell, this book will supplement many online tutorial nicely and give you quick info on how to get your hands wet with xml. however, the information may not completely satisfy an experienced user (for that go for O'reilly's java and xml)

1.0 out of 5 stars book is terrible., May 19, 2005
This review is from: Java(tm) and XML: Your visual blueprint for creating Java-enhanced Web programs (Paperback)
If you have any java programming experience whatsoever, this book is not for you. Even if you have no java experience, this book is not for you because its code examples are horrible and half of them do not even work. The first 1/3 of the book details how to write overly simplistic programs and files in java and xml. However, when you get to the part of the book that actually goes into what you want to learn, it provides very few details, sometimes only a page of text dedicated to a topic. This book takes the very basics of java and the very basics of XML - but if you hope to do anything further than write "Hello, World" to an XML file and then read "Hello, World" back into an object - this book is definately not for you. And if you are a beginner, consider other texts.
