Title: Great for those with some basic Java knowledge...
Review: Now, this is one of those books that I can say I'm glad to have in my collection of game programming books. I'll just put it next to my Black Art Of VB Game Programming, excellent. An excellent resource for game programming since it goes deep into the explaination of game design, game development, and down-to-earth explainations of the example code. The only gripe about this book is that you really do need some basic Java knowledge to start. I'm familiar with c++ and vb, but knew nothing about Java. The 5 bonus chapters on the cd were a great help, but not good enough. It did, however, recommend getting the Java Programming For Dummies since this book wasn't meant to teach Java from scratch anyway. So that's the only problem with this book, if it actually is a problem. Hehe.
