Reader Reviews
This review is from: Java All-In-One Desk Reference For Dummies (Paperback) Don't take too seriously the cover's claim about this book being 9 books wrapped into one. Inside, Lowe follows through on this claim by having groups of chapters, where each group is a "book". If you take that at face value, each book is only some 100 pages or less. My suggestion is to ignore the 9 books hype. Just regard this as an atypically long Dummies text. You get a decent exposition of the basics of Java. If the book seems long, it is because Java has grown. The book also correctly gives minimal space to explaining how to write applets. This was the original Java niche. But applets have proven to be disappointing for much serious work. It's nice to see that Lowe has done his homework on this. Comment | | (Report this)
