4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to Visual J++ but not Java
The book goes a long way in describing the Microsoft Visual environment. (It's nice to see the same environment as used for C++). Unfortunately viewing the online (humorous) descriptions of the contents page makes it impossible to evaluate the true contents of the book without actually reading it. This is not the book you want to learn Java the language. You want this...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for beginners
Its title is misleading, making us believe that it actually was written for dummies. But it's not. The author has to rewrite this book for true beginners who want to learn J++ programming in a clear and concise way.

Unfortunately viewing the online (humorous) descriptions of the contents page makes it impossible to evaluate the true contents of the book without actually reading it. This is not the book you want to learn Java the language. You want this book to learn how to implement Java in the Visual J++ environment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy, but confused, March 15, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual J++ for Dummies (Paperback)
It was my first book for Visual J++. I have found some explanations made me understand easily. However, it is very confused for me to follow the examples in the book. And, I really don't like that he used a lot of joke in main and sub titles. I would believe that these titles supposed to have concentrated and abstracted meaning for the chapters. This is good for only brief view for Visula J++, actually Java.

1.0 out of 5 stars Confusing, unfocused, only dummies will buy it., August 10, 1998
This review is from: Visual J++ for Dummies (Paperback)
I'm a web newbie trying to learn Java from scratch, and I bought Visual J++ with this Dummies book. This book is very confusing, jumping from one subject to another. After a day's read, I became far more confused. It doesn't even teach the fundamentals of Java programming, and simply makes a few applets and scripts and expects the reader to get along.

Sad as I may be, I completed the book, and yet do not know how to make a workable Javascript.
