Title: To Hip to be Useful
Review: I dislike all of the Head First series that I have read. Head First Java is no exception. I am a professional working on a master's in software engineering. I do not want or need fluff. I want to get into the nuts and bolts quickly. This book is useless in this regard. I also find the presentation of the material insulting. Serious programmers/engineers should look to Java How To Program by Deitel as an authority. Head First java may be interesting and useful to the young, those who need to be entertained to learn, or have zero to minimal exposure to Java/Programming. I will not be purchasing another title in the Head First Series. If you need this text for class, you are better served by Deitel and/or web searches.
