Summary: decent delivery on promise
Comment: I think this book did a decent job of delivering on its promise. For this reason I give it a 3. As for real world usefulness, I give it a 2. I found it helpful for a person like me, who not totally new to java (the language), wanted to move to the JBuilder IDE and learn how to get things done quickly. By following the chapters, I was able to quickly get Java applets up; creating applications and using JDBC. I also got a good idea of how to manipulate these things from within the IDE.

This book is for JBuilder beginners. If you are looking to learn Java or get into the real meat of the language then this book is not for you. This serves only to get you started with Jbuider and you'll have to do further reading in order to do any real world development.

Summary: a decent introduction to JBuilder
Comment: I have to respond to a reader below. He was a little too harsh. The book is not intended to teach you JDBC, client/server, CORBA, RMI you name it. It does a good job explaining the fundamentals of Java and getting around JBuilder. Once you have this 'critical energy' you can make a quantum leap. I personally find the books attempting to cover everything in one big volume mostly bad and useless.

Summary: The most inappropriately-titled programming text ever.
Comment: As would several other novices to jBuilder, I bought this book (unseen) based on the title and synopsis, only to discover that not only did it offer only superficial information regarding the use of jBuilder, but that there was no database connectivity material. Incredible.

It appears to include an outline of items in which readers would would be interested, but the sections describing these items are full of empty pages and blank space.

How could anyone agree to publish such rubbish?
