Title: An example driven book with little reference quality
Review: Although I sure the writer is a solid J++ programmer, this book doesn't do a great job of teaching Java to People that aren't accomplished C++ programmers. In the introduction the author states that only basic programming knowledge is needed and that knowledge need not be in C or C++. The author then proceeds to refer to C structures and data types throughout the entire book. This left me thinking I was missing portions of every explanation and I was indeed.If you like collecting books with nice cover graphics and that all fit on the same size shelf, stay with the microsoft press book series, otherwise go for more depth with other publishers books.
