1.0 out of 5 stars Last time I pre-buy a book, just onthe strength of its title, 29 Mar 2003
What you didn't know is that the authors are 21 and in the final year of a game programming course. You would be better consulting their courses texts! Which they don't tell you.
This is pitched as a text for a Java beginner, ie them 2-3 years ago. 46 pages are spent on "Arrays and Strings".
Its chapter 9 until they get to Graphics, and they don't get to 3D graphics in the 639 pages!
In other words if you want to launch a game in 2004-2005, don't buy this book, as 3D will be essential. Instantly remainderable.

3.0 out of 5 stars good book, maybe wrong title., 18 May 2003
This book, will teach you the java language with a game programming orientation.
This book does not have any complete game inside.
Anyway it's a good book and you can use it to learn java taking into consideration the game programming goal.
What i appriciated is the practical and clear approach.
Many customers will be disappointed because the title says game programming and because of that, the authors are supposed to furnish some game inside.
The right title for this book is ,
"Learn java 1.4 with a game programming perspective", or something like that("Introduction to java game programming" would be better), because in the book they cover the whole language and not only the game programming stuff.
