1.0 out of 5 stars Learn Java before reading this book., February 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Java Now, with CD-ROM (Paperback)

The title of this book is very misleading. The publisher should remove the word "learn" from the title. This book is for those already familair with a programming language or two.

In defense of Amazon.com and Microsoft Press, the synopsis prodived by Amazon.com was taken from the back of the book itself. It does clearly state "Looking for a better way to port your programming skills", which to me means you better know the language.

I'm sure this is a very useful book for programmers, beginners beware.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book if you already know C++, May 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Java Now, with CD-ROM (Paperback)

This is really good book if you already know C++ and a little bit of OOP. The book explains the main ideas very well and uses good examples. Good for anyone who wants to learn to write applets in as short a time as possible. Knowledge of C++ is a must

1.0 out of 5 stars DONT BUY THIS BOOK!!YUK!, January 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Learn Java Now, with CD-ROM (Paperback)

This is the worst book on programming.I was totally new to programming and this book didnt make any sence.In order to understand it you have to be a C++ wiz if not allready know J++.If youre looking a book that is gonna teach you programming look elsewere.This book is to complex and bad written for begginners.On the other hand it offers nothing to old-timers.Soo I have only one thing to say:DONT READ THIS BOOK EVEN IF THEY PAY YOU TO.
