Title: Disappointing
Review: DisappointingI have over 6 years programming C++, yet that helped very little with my understanding Java after reading this book. The author starts off very well with some good examples, but then drops dead - nothing but code fragments and abstract text for the next 3 or 4 chapters! Argh.This is the first O'Reily book that I disliked and found to be poorly written (and O'Reily has much of my money, too). I doubt I will invest in the rest of this series.I bought Sams "Teach yourself Java in 21 days" and so far have found it very capable. If Niemeyer used the form of Sams' book (examples and organization), but with his knowledge, then this could be a 5-star book. Maybe.
Is the review positive or negative?
