Title: Overpriced Mediocre Book
Review: The presentation was very dry, but it's because it's an academic book. Don't expect that because it's Java, a hot IT technology, the book will have a great presentation. Another thing that was frustrating was the way the author smeared problems all over the book and never included solutions to them on the CD - that's useless to me. Overall, it delivered like any other academic book.If you want a better experience learning Java I recommend Wrox's Beginning Java 2 SDK 1.4 Edition, by Ivor Horton. You get more pages, better explanations, wider range of topics, better index... the works. ...
