Title: Not very good
Review: This book tout's itself as "Open This Book as a Novice and finish It as a Pro". This is a VERY incorrect self-assesment. As a novice, I found that the sample code in the book was just plain wrong. The book may be okay for someone with J++ experience but it certainly isn't written with the beginner in mind. Osborne did a disservice by giving this book the title "from the Ground Up". It probably would have been better titled "starting from the middle".
