Title: I thought you were supposed to learn real Java
Product review: It is too bad that this is required reading for a Java course, I think this book would be more effective lighting a fire than teaching you Java. It screams at you about keywords then fails to correctly use them itself.My biggest problem with this book is the packages it uses. It doesn't bother actually using any standard java package, it uses a couple of third-party tools to try to teach you everything. Something called TerminalIO for the command line, and BreezySwing for gui. I'm surprised they didn't try to create their own System.out object for use especially with this book.
