Title: Sun's tutorial online is much better
Review: If there is one good thing about this book it is that nearly all examples are written in C++, which the online tutorial at Sun's website doesn't do. But those examples are presented stiltedly and not in what I would consider a clear format.There are a couple of special topics which I consider valuable for people interested in those topics: such as making an NT service and serial programming. I however, was not interested in those topics.Gordon thinks he's witty, too (quoting great writers in the chapter headings). He's at best corny and at worst contrived.
Is the review positive or negative?
