1.0 out of 5 stars National waste, July 29, 1999

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself JBuilder 2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

I am really upset that a minimum that i can give is a single star if there was a zero star that i would have given that to this book. This book is just a cheap copy of JBuilder manual.PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME GOING THROUGH THIS BOOK.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wasted time, February 19, 1999

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself JBuilder 2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

This book is too simple. Starts good with some introductory about the Java language, and as I was reading I was starting to like the book, but suddenly the author wasted too much time teaching you how to use the interface and all that stuff that anybody can learn by it's own. The examples are kindergarten like, and i wanted to skip many of the stuff to reach the end and finish with it. I just tried to read it because I paid for it, but it was dissapointing and I even got depressed reading it. Get a Java 1.2 book and learn from it, JBuilder is a great tool and deserves much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lighter than Air, July 31, 1998

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself JBuilder 2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

The lightest "Teach Yourself ... in 21 Days" book I've ever seen. You'll find no meat here. The best JBuilder book on the market is still Cary Jensen's "JBuilder Essential" (in spite of the fact it is based on JBuilder 1.0). Because there are no meaty JBuilder books on the market, and because there are such excellent (meaty) Java books on the market, spend your money on any or all of these three books (you won't be sorry): (1.)Cay Horstman's "Core Java 1.1" (Volume 1); (2.) David Geary's "Graphic Java 1.1"; (3.)Cay Horstman's "Core Java 1.1" (Volume 2); Additionally, David Geary will soon be releasing two more books which are likely to be top notch, given this author's history.
