I have had some experience with Java. Ok, I am a hack. But my work required no real expertise in the area. I decided to jump in and train myself...have you seen some of the training (SELF HELP???) books out there. I would rather give myself surgery.
Then I saw this book advertised and decided to spend the money. I was glad that I did. It spoke to both sides of my head. Serious enough to get the point across, yet silly enough to keep me interested.
I blasted through the book and passed it onto my little brother who is trying to decide on becoming a programmer.
Did I mention that I am not a computer engineer? I am a Chemical Engineer creating applications that require this knowledge. I rather enjoyed this conceptual applications being that I am a visual type person.
Thanks again,
Victor
