3.0 out of 5 stars Less introduction on RTP programming, November 9, 1998

By A Customer

I am a programmer in JAVA , I found there is too little document about RTP in JMF, and the book also doesn't include much information about it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not much about JMF apart from the Java Media Player, February 20, 2000

By	Tony Lau (Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews

The name of the book suggested a complete guide to the JMF, but in fact it's a book about the Java Media Player ONLY. It contains almost nothing about the very important media broasdcasting and conferencing part of the JML. It's an disappointment to me. Well, to be fair, it could be a pretty good book for developers who want to use the Media Player part only.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it, July 7, 2004

By	Babak Sekandari "babak11" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I nearly did not buy this book because of the previous negative comments. However, I just finished chapter three and I've found it to be very user friendly.
I've only been working with Java for about ten months now, and so this book is right about at my level.
I'm also reading Gordon and Talley's JMF book; and that one seems to be a bit more advanced, but also good.

If you are a Java guru, then this book may be a bit too easy for you.
But if you are like me, an undergraduate Computer Science student, then this book should be about right for you.

If you have little or no experience with Java at all then this book will be a bit too tough for you.
