Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Withers has created what is easily one of the more interesting Java books on the market. The traditional Java book approach is 600 pages of everything you might ever need but cannot absorb. Withers assumes that his readers are interested in entertainment, so Java is here taught in the context of designing entertaining experiences, mostly games. This isn't for beginners, but it will hold readers' interest as the tough lessons are learned. An excellent complement to Grand, reviewed above.

It has poor contents and and is not up-to-date

June 9, 1998

Format: Paperback

Not for someone looking for advanced techniques building a real game. He wastes a lot of pages talking about how games can be done, but not in technical ways. If you want to learn Java, buy a book intended to teach you Java from beginning. This is not organised with this purpose. I believe it's not organised in anyway.

A must buy for up and coming Java developers.

December 14, 1996

Format: Paperback

This has to be one of the best books written for an up and coming Java developer. After you have a little Java under your belt, or you are just learning, get this book, read the hell out of it and go 4 it
