Product Description

Synopsis
There is simply no better way to learn Java than to have the pineal gland of an expert Java programmer surgically implanted in your brain. Sadly, most HMOs refuse to pay for this career saving procedure, deeming Java to be too experimental. At last there is an alternative treatment for those of us who cannot wait for sweeping health care reforms. Mr. Bunny's Big Cup O' Java is recommended by n out of ten doctors, where n is any integer you wish to make up to impress an astoundingly gullible public. The book begins with an overview of the book, and quickly expands into the book itself. Just look at the topics covered: *Mr. Bunny's rucksack *Farmer Jake's overalls *Java In short, MBBCOJ will teach you all you need to know for a successful career in today's rabbit development environments. "I sincerely hope this book increases the donor pool." --CE3 The Mr. Bunny series is supported, endorsed, and authored by Carlton Egremont III, Esquire, recluse, and all-around weirdo. It is the official place to go when you simply must go someplace official. The books in this series provide no information whatsoever. The series is an indispensable resource for Janet from Reno...from the hip The Mr.

Will have you rolling on the floor !!, 28 April 1999

By A Customer

Amazingly Wacked !!

Like his previous Best Seller* that no normal person has ever heard of ("Mr. Bunny's Guide to Active X") this gem raises and answers questions that not even normal programmers (oxymoron?) would ever think to ask. E.g., "Which came first, the Comment or the Code?" -- answer -- White Space!

It pokes fun at everything from its own copyright "No part of this book ... blah, blah, blah, without the secret handshake." to resume writing suggestions "... listing your greatest accomplishments (unless, of course, you are Monica Lewinsky.)"

I liked "Diagram 1" which displayed everything from the top level ("Java Program") down to the lowest levels ("Pizza Crumbs" and "Tile or Carpet.")

The Common Programming Errors section (like everything else) was also was amazingly creative (and more importantly, funny!) -- including "Calling no argument constructor when there is no no-argument constructor is a no-no resulting in an argument with the compiler." and "C."

Finally, explaining the challenge the compiler faces -- making your java code understandable to a box of sand. (In all my years of compiler writing, I never though of this.)

Get this book!! Even if you're not a nerd, it will have you rolling. (What about the "Backward" which is, of course, the Forward in reverse!)

----

*I saw this #1 rating in "Boston Software Newspaper" also, one of the local book store owners told me they sold nearly twice as many "Mr. Bunny's Guide to Active X" last year as the #2 title.)

Beware the Bunny, 18 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Thinly disguised as humor, this book's pathetic attempt at breathing new life into the corpse we still know as Java is just more proof of the truly evil nature of the alien being known as MISTER BUNNY.

What is good about a programming language? Hah...Foof!

For example, like the idiot humans we are, we once thought pointers were cool! Now we think no pointers are cool!

If you cannot understand how to understand this book, understand that BUNNY understands that JAVA (J.A.V.a., and I think you KNOW what I mean by "_tHAT") is only a lame construct devised by a bunch of polymorphic objects (humans) devised by a bunch of amorphous BLOBs developed by a bunch of BUNNYS(Binary Universal Nil-oriented Nonsenso-YakkonandonometerS), all of whom or which may or may not exist only in the imagination of the BEitSk (Big Engineer in the Sky).

I give this book one star, but it is VERY ENORMOUS and also subject to numerary interpretation by your individual browser.

Another case of Sun/Java chasing a Microsoft/COM innovation!, 17 April 1999

By A Customer

As with most attempts, this one looks very attractive, is extremely approachable, but lacks the depth of functionality found in the Microsoft/COM version (in this case, Mr. Bunny's Guide to ActiveX). Notably lacking was an illustrated discussion of development tools (doesn't the JDK have something as easy to use and inviting as VB's splash screen?). Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of this book is that it was penned by noted COM expert, Carlton Egremont III. This gives the book a much more balanced viewpoint than the entertaining yet biased "pundit" books by Orfali or Sessions. As a died-in-the-wool COM person, I am impressed at Egremont's ability to straddle both camps and retain his objectivity.

A bad joke
This book is of no value in learning Java nor is it humerous as a joke. The only thing I can recommend about this book is that it fits neatly into the wastepaper bin.
