Title: boring
Review: First, disclosure: I'm truly a nobody as Java programmers go. I'm one of those accidental programmers who started learning Perl one day a few years ago, in order to do some CGI programming. But I have been studying Java in a course and have bought a couple books including this one. I've studied and used Perl, PHP, JavaScript, a little Python, and own plenty of computer books, especially O'Reilly titles.Normally I don't dare bash books whose authors are a 9.9 on a knowledge scale of 1 to 10, when I'm about a 1.7. But in this case I make an exception because the way this book is written is mind-numbing, turgid, impenetrable, and boring. Perhaps if you're a genius and/or already very well versed in Java, you'll enjoy it and find it useful. Otherwise, go for Just Java 2.
