Negative Positive
Title: A complete waste of time and money
Review: I thought this book was going to be about servlets and JDBC. The title is completely misleading. Out of 17 chapters there is only 1 chapter on servlets (which mostly just rehashes the sample servlets from Sun), 1 on a JDBC case study, and 4 very basic chapters on JDBC. The other 11 chapters of the book are on the basics of Java, the Internet, using the Java Web Server, and similar introductory subject matter. This seems like one of those books that was published just to make a buck based on a flashy title pertaining to a hot subject area. The only value of this book is as a very basic introduction to JDBC. Other than that the book is completely worthless. I regret having to air such a harsh opinion but I had much higher hopes for a book on this subject matter.
Is the review positive or negative?
