Product Description

From the Back Cover

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.

5.0 out of 5 starsWill have you rolling on the floor !!
By A Customer on 27 April 1999
Format: Paperback
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.)

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother case of Sun/Java chasing a Microsoft/COM innovation!
By A Customer on 17 April 1999
Format: Paperback
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeware the Bunny
By A Customer on 18 Jun. 1999
Format: Paperback
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining fun, although the ActiveX version is funnier. 14 July 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Entertaining fun, although I though the ActiveX book (same author) was funnier. Check it out too: Mr. Bunny's Guide to ActiveX

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money 16 Aug. 2003
By xman - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A complete waste. No learning or humor. There's barely enough material for a magazine article let alone a book. Now, after trashing the book, I'll see if I can find a sucker who doesn't read reviews to re-sell this book to.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent, short, entertaining, accurate introduction 28 April 2000
By A. Tiwana - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
WARNING: Do not read this book in a brick-and-mortar bookstore or you'll have people stare at you when they see you laugh uncontrollably. This is an excellent book for the beginner. The concepts are explained in way that is hard to forget. This reminds me of David Pogue's books: Accurate, yet enjoyable. This is not a book for the hard nosed Java programmer, but definitely worth a read for someone who is starting out with Java. Concepts are explained very accurately, and this is far removed from the 600-page tomes in the sense that this is safer: It's not heavy enough to smash your PC screen when you cant get that dang program to work! Interestingly enough, someone with little programming experience can also get the jokes. And for the other reviewers who take programming a little too seriously to be fun: Get a life! Also make sure you visit the author's (or publisher's?) home page at mrbunny.com. Highly and heartily recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars First ActiveX, now this... 24 Feb. 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
I wish this author would write more books. Books on C++, the Internet, etc...
It's certainly a Dave-Barry-meets-Joe-Programmer kind of book, and I have to admit, even though it's hard to take this stuff seriously (ever other sentence is a play on words or programming concepts), the metaphors still explained some things very clearly.
I'll never forget Inky, popping plates off a stack of plates in response to stack push and pop commands.
If you're willing to take yourself less seriously and embrace the fact that programmers are really geeks, then you will laugh at this book.
From Mr. Bunny's first appearance in chapter 1 (his first words are, of course, "Hello World!") to the last chapter's Home Sweet Home Page, this book is worth reading - if you can stand to laugh that hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars People... it's a *joke* :-) 15 Aug. 2006
By LEB - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This is not-- let me repeat, NOT-- a book to get to learn Java. There is absolutely nothing in this book that will teach you Java if don't already know it. From reading some of the other reviews, there are obviously people out there who thought it would be a good idea to try to learn a programming language from a book titled "Mr. Bunny's Big Cup o' Java". Learn from their mistakes!

What this is is a very amusing read if you're a programmer and a geek and have a strange sense of humor. It's a good book to leave in the bathroom if you often have other programmer geeks over. Especially if you don't mind some raised eyebrows from everybody else when the person in the bathroom stays in there for half an hour, giggling the entire time.
