1.0 out of 5 stars Look elsewhere!, January 28, 1998

blizzard@ols.net (Winston-Salem, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Laura Lemay's Java 1.1 Interactive Course (Paperback)

They put 1.1 on the cover, but left it out of the book! The book is poorly written and full of mistakes. If you want to learn Java, spend your money on another book.

1.0 out of 5 stars One of the worst computer books I ever bought!, January 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Laura Lemay's Java 1.1 Interactive Course (Paperback)

This book is extremely disappointing. The publisher Michael Waite has admitted that the book covers the 1.02 JDK and not the 1.1. He had Lemay do a quick change to the Java 1.02 in 21 days..(basically added a lot of junk filler) to turn out this book. It is poorly organized, full of errors and code that won't compile, the advertised mentors do not exist, confusing, and all in all a waste of money! If you want a good book by a guy that seems to really have it together, try Core Java 1.1 vol 1, 3rd Ed.

Skip It!

Skip this one, especially if you really want to learn 1.1.

The text is fairly easy to read, but it has not really been updated for 1.1. Read more
