Title: Don't be fooled by the title
Review: The title of this book is highly inappropriate. This is not a book for someone who has not used Java before. If you have never used or seen Java before OR are not a very very comfortable C++ programmer(actually even that won't really help) this book is NOT for you. Explanations are very brief, concepts are not covered in depth and the examples concentrate on showing short cuts and 'tricks of the trade'. What good does that do when you don't know anything about JAVA? The author should have concentrated on teaching the basics of the language and explained things such as threading etc. much more thoroughly. An absolutely USELESS book.
Is the review positive or negative?
