Title: If you're hungry for knowledge, this will starve you further
Product review: .This book is a prime example of a 'deadline' that had to be met (during it's production).It's an obvious attempt to get the book quickly on to circulation in order keep up with other competitors, rather than understand the psychology of a 'novice' programmer.......................... (Looks to me it relied too much on the success/reputation of previous 'DUMMIES' books).If you're learning to swim.. you'll suddenly find yourself in the deep end... & drown (without warning)!If you currently lack confidence in your programming ability... you'll be lacking more after this.Rather than seeking knowledge... you'll be FIGHTING IRRITATION !Recommendation : 'Beginning Java' (by Ivor Horton) - fully restored my confidence.
