Title: Poor Effort
Review: Kafura is a professor at VA Tech. and this book is a compilation of his notes teaching this course over the years. As others have stated, it is riddled with errors, some that could have been caught by a spell checker. I assume the only people who buy it are the poor students at VA Tech. (like me) who have no choice. The online quzzes are also a mess sometimes displaying questions from his C++ book or even the wrong answer.I found some of the writing to be OK but it really should be much better with less complicated examples. I can't imagine a sophmore in college having much success with this text. If you already have the basics of Java or OO down, then it may be plaltable. Remeber, professors are not really rewarded for being able to teach and this book is a classic example.Also, I noticed that many of the "other books people bought who bought this book" were also VA Tech required books (e.g., books by Larman, Christensen, and Daconta).
Is this product review negative?
