Title: Don't Let This Book Confuse You
Review: Interestingly, I attend San Jose State University, and the author of this book is a profesor at this university.To establish my credibility, I'm quite an experienced programmer. I've taken quite a few programming classes and have never received anything less than an A.But I've never touched Java before, and this book totally confuses me. It keeps referencing back and forth different classes/methods with similiar names, and in the end I'm completely lost.Even at the beginning of this book, it discusses some concepts that just wouldn't make sense at all to a beginner. I'm glad this is not my first programming book, or I wouldn't have any idea what the first chapter is all about.Too bad for me, this is required for my Java course, so I'm stuck with it. If you're not required to own this book, AVOID IT.
