Title: Outdated
Review: The book is outdated at 7 years old. Even the book itself thinks this book is outdated because it says that Java is a language that gets updated often.It also bothered me that it didn't use the free Sun provided Netbeans IDE. It doesn't even mention it, yet it was available two years prior to the copyright of this book.Finally, I'll admit that the book doesn't do a bad job at teaching the material it does have. However, sometimes I find myself reading the most cumbersome paragraph and wonder who wrote this book. For instance, I can't understand what it wants me to accomplish in the Case Study on page 189. It makes no sense.
Is the review positive or negative?
