Title: Is hardly worth the money...
Product review: Somebody below me said the book is a great introductory book as far as the future of Java is concerned.This book is indeed an introduction. But, if you REALLY want an introductory book, you should go for other books from Wiley - a book written by Orfali, for example. They're a magnitude better than this one.I'v read Orfali's most books and am pretty happy with them - his Distributed Objects Survival Guide is the best intro book on CORBA I've ever read. Also, Peter van den Linden's Not just Java is also a good introductory book to most topics covered in Nelson's book - except for the vendor-specific subjects, of course - voyagee (sp?) et al. But they only take up some 70-80 pages. The other 530-540 pages are just plain bad - just compare this book to those of Orfali...Do NOT buy this book.
