Summary: almost utterly useless
Comment: First of all, this book is not actually about java programming, it's about puting applets on your web page. There isn't a line of java code anywhere. It is not very well written and it is way too long for its topic. With all the s and nowadays, putting applets on your page is hard, but not that hard. Who wants to read several chapters on passing parameters to an applet when you don't kno how to make the applet recieve them? Who wants to pay someone to program for them, like it suggests, when they know how to program begginer HTML anyway? And you would think they would wake the title different, or at least mention in the first chapter that this book is not actually about java programming. Big rip-off.

Summary: Possibly the most deceiving book ever
Comment: Like most of the other reviewers reviewing this book, I thought by buying this book I'd be able to learn how to program java, but boy was I wrong. This is a 350 page tutorial on how to steal other people's applets and successfully negotiate it into your own website without giving proper credit. It teaches you how to weave it into the site without a single piece of knowledge of what you just did. Like another reviewer said, this book contains not one single line of code that you can use for your own site guilt-free.
If you want to learn how to incoporate java into your site, this is the book for you, but like most I'm pretty sure that by buying this book, doing just is not your intention at all.

Stay away from this horrific book.

Summary: This Book is not for Programming, or for Applets
Comment: I got this book thinking I was going to learn java. Great right? Well not, I soon figured out this book is about using someone elses applet, on the web! First of all This book has nothing to do with programming! Second of all, If you wanted to have applets on your web-site, why can't you learn to make your own, instead copying off of someone else?
