5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent beginner book on Java 1.2, April 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Java 1.2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

A great introduction into the newest realm of Java. This book provides a more than adequate stepping stone from the beginner to intermediate knowledge of Java using 1.2.

1.0 out of 5 stars a deprecated book, September 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Java 1.2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

Please readers, don't be fooled by the title of this book claiming that it teaches you Java 2.0 (the lastest version of the book). All the samples in the book are JDK1.0 version. Don't be ripoffed by this lazy author!

1.0 out of 5 stars Yet another book by geeks for geeks, January 7, 2000

Doctor from the UK (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Java 1.2 in 21 Days (Paperback)

If I explained things in my job as badly as most writers of these so-called introductory texts, I would soon be out of work, and rightly so. Page 62 (Day 2) sums it all up for me - "To summarize today's material... 'Object' - an instance of a class. 'Instance' - the same thing as an object." When will someone who really knows how to explain things write a book on a subject like this?
