1.0 out of 5 stars No value..., January 21, 2003

By 

Mike Jones (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sun One Studio Programming (Paperback)

I am not very certain how there are so many 5 star rating for this book!!! Honestly, either all the ratings are rigged in some way, or the authors themselves are providing their own feed back.

This book is an absolute waste of time in my opinion. I have been working on Java for almost 4+ years now. This is one of such books where the authors try to explain every thing on a pop-up menu, or why the menus are gray instead of blue (or whatever...). pun intended.

Why would anybody waste time and resources to write such books? more so, i wonder why people read such books in the first place.

Also, i have noticed that for every bad review, there will be 2 new good reviews (5 stars) added immediately!!! hmmm think about the odds.

1.0 out of 5 stars What a shame, January 16, 2003

By 

Rob Anderson (Sanjose, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sun One Studio Programming (Paperback)

I recommend not to buy this book. This book is almost a copyright breach of Sun's tutorial. I wonder how such books make the market and still continue to sell. The authors have not added any content except for few screen shots. I wasted my money on this book. Now i am trying to sell this on ebay... Hope i atleast get some of my money back

1.0 out of 5 stars nearly worthless rewrite, January 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sun One Studio Programming (Paperback)

I'm always suspicious of books with a few high ratings. I always wonder if it's not the author's friends and family writing them. In this case I was right to be leary. This book is very little more than a rewrite of the Sun ONE Studio online documentation with screen shots added. If you want a hardcopy of the online documentation or are a complete newbie to Java and IDEs in general then this book may be of some comfort to you, otherwise don't waste your money.
