Rating: Book is OK but I was disappointed in the fact that from page one it has you writting your first Java program, compiling it and, executing it.......but it doesn't tell you how to do it. All it says is type this in and compile it. Type it into what? compile what? it assumes you know how to run the programs on the CD even though it doesn't tell you how to. It's doesn't give you an idea of what you typing. It just says do it and gives no theory behind it or an explanation of what the syntax means. It says that this is a book for everyone. Wrong......this is a book for people who already have a background in another language.
