Summary: Waste of money
Comment: This book was a text book for one of my advanced java classes. Unfortunately, there is very little to learn from this book. Filling the book up with pages of examples without sufficient explaination of concepts makes this book a complete waste of money. Most of the chapters were rushed, students will have a tough time grasping important concepts unless they buy some good books as well (OReilly, Addison-Wesley). I will not recommend it to anybody.

Summary: OK Book, Could Stand Improvement
Comment: I picked up this book as I have recently started working in my first Web Development job. We're a J2EE shop, and I needed a reference to pick up the J2EE APIs that we didn't cover in school (ie..EJBs, RMI, etc...). The book offers a lot of information, but you can get a lost in the coding examples. For example, in learning RMI, I found myself getting somewhat lost because I didn't have a background in Swing, which the book employs throughout much of the examples in the book.
My suggestion to the publishers is to stay focused on the basics of the technology (ie RMI) so you can see clearly how to set up a program for RMI. Then, maybe employ the Swing (and whatever other APIs) as a 2nd or 3rd coding example.
It's not a bad book, but I found the Java 2 Enterprise Edition Bible (Couch) easier to understand.

Comment: Book Review:
Java How to Program, 4th ed.
Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program
Deitel & Deitel
I finished three java programming courses at Santa
Monica College two of which required the Java How to
Program, 4th ed., the other was a java w/data
structures course and I used the Java How to Program,
4th ed. and the instructors lecture notes. I bought
the advanced book to learn more about java and the
net, java 2d, 3d and j2me since I am into pc and
online video games development, and data base
connections with jdbc since I know sql. Design
patterns and enterprise java case study give
industrial strength business applications.
The authors packed and packed java into these books.
The books are easy to follow, and everything works. I
found the exercises challenging but not overwelming. I
have not ran across an exercise I cannot do, although
some require in depth study of the topics covered. And
when if all comes together it's fun. The chapters
build on each other very well, and the materials moves
fast and stays interesting.
The cd's have everything I need to get started: what
to install, how to install it, how to set the
environment. The forte community edition is packed
with java building and debugging tools that make java
programming faster and easier to follow. Try the
Reformat Code tool, and check out the text coloring.
I cannot say enough about these authors and their
materials. Anybody getting into java programming will
be more than satisfied for a long time.
Thank you Deitel & Associates
