Customer Reviews & Comments
I was very disappointed by this book. I will admit that the SDK is still being worked on and they just released version 1.0, which is upposed to be locked, a few of the examples won't work and have to be updated. In addition I found an error around the 8th chapter where the wrong class names are used and would mess up the example. The biggest problem is what seems to be useless pages with overly simple examples. Chapter 8 is horrible with a simple application and just pasting a bunch of different versions for the same thing. There are plenty of things that aren't needed to be explained, but are anyway ... even though the book states it is to be used by someone with previous programming experience. Way too simplistic and wordy for anyone who already knows Java.
