Title: Hold it! Not suitable for beginners.
Review: This book is for beginning Java programmers, NOT beginning programmers. Big difference. I wish the book description had said this rather than read it in the book after buyng it. And if you do not know how to set a PATH statement so that your computer can find the javac.exe in the BIN directory of your J2SDK, then you are going to be lost before you get to page 1. All this is assumed knowledge by the authors.I put this book back on my bookshelf to be revisted after I complete the SAMS Learn Java in 24 hours book. (Oh, I do know how to set PATH statements from my previous experience using DOS. You should learn how to do this also.)
Is the review positive or negative?
