Title: Don't know why this book got 5 stars
Review: Seriously, As a Sun Certified Java Programmer, I don't recommend this book. I don't know what it is with the author, but he seems to love to write code that computes primes.A good book is one that is informative as well as explanative and easy to follow. Most of this book is easy to follow, but the problem is that it doen't take you anywhere.Not much to be learned about the language and the rules of Java from this book as a beginners book should concentrate on.The author writes code and explains 'Heres how it works', with an explanation not easy to understand.It seems like a modified version of the Deitel, Java How to Program book.Sybex or better yet Addison Wesley have some very good introductory Java books that may be a much wiser choice.
Is the review positive or negative?
