3.0 out of 5 stars Now I see why it was half price, 17 Oct 2003
By Ben (Oxford) - See all my reviews
The book is written well and I like its approach of teaching Java by building large applications.

Sadly the publisher must have specified a minimum number of pages needed to justify the intended cost of the book. A large amount of this book consists of the entire code for each application, despite this being available to download from their website. It is a shame they didn't just focus on the poignant aspects of the code and cover more ideas with pages that would have freed up. However, the applications are very useful and interesting, with good extension exercises.

For a book that appeared to promise much, I feel disappointed with this purchase.
