2.0 out of 5 stars Apparently rushed to press, many errors keep you guessing., November 2, 1998

edmcdaniel@pmsc.com (Columbia, S.C.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Programming With Visualage for Java (Visualage Series) (Paperback)

Text and examples full of typos, omissions and assumptions. Examples are impossible to load. Spent valuable time trying to resolve errors in examples. If you haven't bought it, don't! Author owes everyone that bought it a follow-up with the corrections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Presented and laid out, November 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming With Visualage for Java (Visualage Series) (Paperback)

This book is outstanding. At explaining the VisualAge for Java product. Many of the other reviews in my professional opinion are completely missing the point. One person said the product does not match the book this is totally false, perhaps that person should get the correct version of his software "DERR". It may not appeal to UNIX hackers as it does not get into techy geeky stuff. It is not a Java reference and is not meant to be.

This book explains by example a nice way to explain things additionally I highly recommend the VisualAge for Java product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Spends most of the time teaching Java NOT Visual Age for Jav, February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Programming With Visualage for Java (Visualage Series) (Paperback)

There are many better books if you want to learn Java. I wanted a "handbook" for VisualAge. It provide the fundamentals that can be gotten online. I returned it.

The one-line summary says it all. Do not buy this one. A much better book is Developing JavaBeans Using VisualAge for Java, by Nilsson and Jakab.

You can not even load the examples if you have an early copy. This problem has been corrected in later copies.
