Dry Dry Dry, March 10, 2006
This review is from: Object-Oriented Program Development Using Java: A Class-Centered Approach, Enhanced Edition (Paperback)
If you are a hardcore "geek" type where you love programming and books with a dry technical nature then this is for you. If you're like the rest of us, you'll have to move on from this. I'm using this in my Java class and it's just got me lost because it's pretty boring and I'm a visual learner. My background is web design but moving my way into development and programming. I have done some programming and when it's laid out to me properly, I don't have any problems. However, when it's very boring and "just there" then there are problems. I purchased "Head First Java" and even though I'm only part way in, page 40, I'm gotten more out of it than the class has given me. Not to mention my teacher is dry so that's a lose lose combination. I had to go beyond that class and class' book to get the information I need!
