This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual J++ in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

Like most other books published by Sam's, Teach yourself Visual J++ in 21 days really lacks any learning value. Subjects are often incomplete, wordy or skip important explainations. In addition to it's lack of quality, this book has several mistypes or mistakes. I would not recommend this book even to an experienced OOP programmer wanting to get a grasp on J++.

1.0 out of 5 stars sams teach yourself CGI in a week is very deceptive, March 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual J++ in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

RE:"Sams Teach Yourself CGI Programming in a week" clearly states on the back cover "takes you to the next step beyond simple HTML"

Having mastered HTML some time ago. Otherwise a novice re: programming languages. I find the above statement to be very deceptive and misleading.

In the first four chapters I learned that the author has great knowledge of assorted programming languages. It does NOTHING for the novice and clearly exceeds the next step up from simple HTML be any stretch of the imagination. By this buyer/aspiring programmers estimation, this book should be clearly targeting the skilled programmer in any one of the given languages mentioned in this book.

SUMMATION - This book was an unfortunate waste of over $ 26.00. $26.00 to some is obviously insignificant, To others it hurts. " OUCH "

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual J++ in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

Too much topics are not covered.I was disappointed by this book. Too much subject are tackled but not deeply. It is just an overview that takes 21 days.
