Review title: A very poor introduction to Java programming! Product review: The book is not geared to novice programmers at all! The examples given are too complex for the concepts being discussed. Far worse then this is the fact that the authors make use of language features in the examples that are only discussed much later in the book, or not at all. For example, they use the terms Integer and String from the beginning, without ever explaining the concepts of types in languages. The code itself is inconistent and of a poor standard, the authors follow no consistent naming conventions, and use extremmely non-descriptive variable names, eg. int a and String s.Chapter 5 is a nightmare for novices, introducing, in one poorly written chapter, the concepts of event-driven programming, choices, class structure, interfaces and more! And all this without ever clearly defining any of them!All in all, the book is not worth the price, effort and time one would waste on it.

Review title: I want to keep it for myself! Product review: I just received this book. Its for my sister, a new mommy to be. I read through it a bit and enjoy the sense of humor. I want to keep it to read first, lol. I think she's really going to enjoy it. I had to scour the internet to find a book for her that wasn't one of those typical preachy "do or die" baby books, which I'm sure she'll receive plenty off. This should be a nice reprieve in the midst of her upcoming (happy)madness.

Review title: Skin reactions Product review: This product is a bit more thick, and sprays onto skin less in a fine mist, more of smaller jets of whitish fluid.It seems to work, in that bugs don't bite you while you're wearing it. My kids seem to like it just fine. I have tried it 3 times now, and won't be using it again because it causes my skin to have an itching and burning feeling. As it is absorbed into the skin, it becomes more difficult to wash off, and so the burning feeling persists. It's not extremely painful, but it's quite irritating, much like putting something like vaporub on yourself.
