3.0 out of 5 stars Average and simple, 23 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself) (Hardcover)
I've just finished reading this sucker in far less than 21 days. The author didn't organize the structure well enough to maximize each day, but who's gonna read just one chapter a day anyway (Chapter 13 was thrice the length and difficulty of almost all other chapters)? Basically, if you have a good foundation in programming, especially OOP, then you'll have no trouble with this book. The authors do fairly well in explaining the concepts of basic java programming, but trudge along slowly in some sections, while moving too quickly through others. I must admit, however, this book is a good introductory text into Java, as long as you've got a solid foundation in OOP beforehand. If you're looking for anything beyond the basics, however, you won't find too much here (of course what can you expect from a 21 days book). As a desk reference it's fairly useful, if you don't have anything else designated specifically for that purpose already.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hard to understand., 29 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself) (Hardcover)
There were too many errors in this book, and the book jumps from topic to topic while they weren't finished. I am a C++ programmer, and it's still hard to understand many concepts so vital in learning Java. Don't buy it, I'm sure you will refund it, or regret that you bought it, like I did.

1.0 out of 5 stars A very poor Java Reference Book, 25 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days (Sams Teach Yourself) (Hardcover)
This book may be ok for someone who just wants to read about Java but is a very poor reference. I needed to know the details on how to implement Exception Processing in my code and found this book to be very verbose but seemed to leave out some of the important details. I opened up my older copy of Core Java and I found the information that I needed immediately. The same thing happened when I needed details on how to put the FileDialog widget in my code. In short, I wish I could return this book to Amazon and get my money back!
