3 of 5 stars Assembly line "Teach Yourself" book doesn't teach clearly., January 23, 1998
Reviewer: Levi Wallach (see more about me) from Arlington, VA

I tried learning Java from this book and failed. Perhaps I shouldn't blame the book but rather my lack of previous experience with object-oriented programming. In any case, this book did not cover object-oriented design sufficiently or clearly enough for it to click. If you already have this background, perhaps this book would be of more use, but if you are trying to learn Java and have never taken C++, Pascal, or any other object-oriented language, I would look for another book.

1 of 5 stars DON"T BUY THIS BOOK, May 29, 1999
Reviewer: A reader from Wallkill, New York

Wow this book sucks... unorganized and incomplete. The most common line was "you will learn more about that later on day xxxx"

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BOOK

4 of 5 stars This book is not bad if you know object-oriented programming, March 1, 1999
Reviewer: csouvannarath@yahoo.com from Chicago, IL

This book is a fairly good book if you have experience in C++. If you don't know object-oriented programming, my advice is to start from the beginning. Learn C/C++ first!!!!!

3 of 5 stars Not so bad, October 14, 1998
Reviewer: A reader from Cubicle 157

The book serves its cause. The only problem is that the chapters are not evenly distributed.

And when you want to learn it "by the book", you need 28 days, not 21. See page 2. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
