Title: Good book but limited
Product review: Ok, I guess I'm the "odd ball" because I feel that a technicalbook on programming should provide source code to compile andrun without hand typing every line of code. This book doesnot provide anyway, other than hand typing in the code orpurchasing a program that will allow you to cut an paste froma .pdf file. I've read a lot of technical book and have yetto find one that does not have errors but could usually determineif what they said was an error or not by testing the code. Beside,"practice make perfect" (practice by hand typing every line ofcode is unacceptable). For this I give the book a -5. ....However, on the good side, I give this book a 5 on learningJava because it did give me some insight into the language. It'sa shame that the publisher's choice was a .pdf file insteadof a .html file or providing source code on the CD. The authorsare actually excellent.
