1.0 out of 5 stars Stolen Obsolete Book, February 22, 2003

This review is from: Mastering Java Threads Two-Day Course (One-day course for the Internet) (Spiral-bound)

This book is course written and owned by SkillBuilders, Inc. Legal actions are pending, one publisher involved in the theft has already paid damages and we anticipate additional judgements/settlements against those who illegally use our copyrighted material.

Aside from that, the material in the book offered here was written in 1999 and earlier. Obviously there have been quite a few changes and updates since that time. Our active courses at SkillBuilders are all up to date. They would be a much better choice.

3.0 out of 5 stars 2 days not enough but a good book anyway, April 27, 2000

This review is from: Mastering Java Threads Two-Day Course (One-day course for the Internet) (Spiral-bound)

Although the book is very informative about threads, 2 days is not enough to understand all the concepts of multithreading. There weren't as many application or applet examples as I would have liked to see on the disk. The book does go through a few examples which let me rate this one a 3 star.
