Title: Too Little Coverage
Review: I really wish I could be more enthusiastic about this product - after all I have enjoyed most other books I have that have been published by IBM. However, I have to say that this tutorial barely scratches what one can do with VisualAge for Java. The author basically goes thru two simple applications. The first application shows how to display a duck in a pond, and the second one shows how to create a really simple spreadsheet. For 69 bucks, how about including serialization, jdbc, servlets, RMI? How about showing the real novice how to use the scrapbook? Go to IBM's website and download the tutorials - I bet you'll learn more.
Is the review positive or negative?
