Negative Positive
Title: Fast paced, complicated examples ...
Review: Succinct presentation, the examples are way complicated for newbies. I am a C programmer in a HP-UX Unix environment, and has taken a one week crash course in JAVA. I've read around 4 books - Teachyourself in 21 days(lemay), Java 2 How to program(deitel), Beginning Java(horton) and Java for Dummies. This book doesn't come close to those four when the target audience is a newbie. Take the hello world example, this one can be displayed using a simple JOptionPane class, but in "Learning..." the code is too much for beginner. Take my advice, buy Lemay's and Jacquie Barker's Beginning Java Objects and you'll thank me for it.
