Reader Reviews
I have to agre with the other negative reviews here. My primary complaints: * The book is little other than the help section and tutorials repackaged. * Even what has been repackaged is unclear. The authors do little other than describe procedural steps. * No added value one would expect in a book like this, e.g. tips or tricks, hidden features, etc. * This is a book on Sun One Studio, not Java. The authors should have realized this, and left out the poor Java examples and explanations. All of that said, the value that this book provides is that it *is* a book! I'm a reference book kind of guy, and I like to have this information at my fingertips, perhaps with several books open on my desk at any one time. You can't always do that with online help. That is the book's saving grace.
