Book Reviews of Java For Dummies
Book Review: A great introduction
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a mature University student studying Web Development and Programming.I needed a gentle introduction to Java, and this book has provided just that.It takes the reader by the hand and introduces all of the basic concepts in an informative and uncomplicated manner (not an easy task).
The author is also very accesible.I had a problem with some code and he responded to my email within hours.(He pointed me to a posting on his Weblog which did just the trick).
I approached Java with some trepidation but thanks to Mr Burd I am now feeling very confident about tackling the more complicated issues.
I am also more than holding my own at University.I can`t thank the author enough.
An introduction to Java that I would highly recommend to anyone.
Book Review: Bought but unused
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book hoping it would help my web development. Unfortunately I was replaced and did not have a chance to use the book.Book Review: Disk from the book had a Trojan
Summary: 3 Stars
Would have liked this book better if the CD included with the book had not had a Trojan virus in it. Could not, would not, install anyhing from the CD.
Book was useful reading
Book Review: Good resource
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a gift for a friend. She really finds it a good resourceBook Review: Good starting book
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend Barry Burd's book. It is a good starting book with humor and illustrations. The material is clearly explained and not overwhelming. Perhaps more important is the author himself who will answer email questions. The programs can be typed into notebook and compiled and run using the Windows run feature or with an IDE provided on download. Ralph Fullwood
