1.0 out of 5 stars If I could give it NO stars, I would, 14 Feb 1999

By A Customer

I got this book hoping for a good introduction to Java; I got a garbage-y book and a useless CD-ROM. First of all, the version of the software on the CD does NOT work. I wasted hours trying to relate it to the software described in the book; and it's not even the same thing!!!! If you want us to buy a full version of a compiler, FINE...but please stick to what's on the CD, otherwise the whole damn thing is useless. I went out and got J++ 6.0 and the J++ Programmer's Guide (both from Microsoft) instead, and it is ten million times better. Don't waste your money on this book; in this case, go with Microsoft.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad, bad, bad!, 9 Mar 1998

By A Customer

Worthless, at least to a beginner. The code in the samples and on the disk don't match up, the code contradicts instructions given in the text, unexplained logical leaps are plentiful, and the copy editing is shameful considering these people are accepting money for this thing. Bad, bad, bad! Run, don't walk, as far away from this book as you can!

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of a tree, 21 Jan 1998

By A Customer

Interesting attempt but the relation of the text to the included software is abysmal. Obviously another case where the writers and programers were not in touch with reality. Overall, worthless for a relative beginner. The simple things were not explained in the least, not even for someone conversant with C.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor . . .
Very dissapointing, would have been somewhat better if the software on the CD was usable. Disgarded the book after a few frustrating chapters. Avoid this one . . .

2.0 out of 5 stars Good book but Roaster is unusable without purchasing it too
This would be a 5 star book had the version of Roaster provided been a full or at least usable version!

At first, TYJin21Days appears as if it might actually make good on its promise, providing a fairly comprehensive overview to the beginning programmer. Read more
