Customer Reviews & Comments
I have a shelf full of Java books ranging from broad beginner topics to specific, more advanced concepts. This book is part of the coursework for an intro to java college class. It's a typical intro book to the subject and it does cover the material fairly well. However, what kept me from rating this a 4 star were the typos. Unless you're already familiar with java, some of these errors can cause great confusion. Chapter 4 demonstrates a try catch block, coded as the following catchthe Math.P(NumberFormatException e) Where did the "the Math.P" come from? Chapter 5: example: frame.isResizeable(true); It spells Resizable like that twice on the same page. Secondly, that method returns a boolean and has no parameters. This alone cause classmates much trouble. Can't wait to finish reading this book to see what other grand mistakes I can find.
