Title: Three strikes and you're out
Product review: You'd think by the third edition that the authors and editors would manage to get the simple, introductory program in the book right. I mean, after all, that's the first exposure we dummies have with Java. But NO. The first program won't compile as shown on the page, or the second or the third. Fortunately, the corresponding programs on the CD work - but they often contain changes that aren't explained in the text. Aside from that, I concur with other comments about the poor organization and design of the book. One good thing I can say is that it focuses on flashy applets, which makes learning more enjoyable.Will someone please write a good introductory beginner's book for Java?
