Customer Reviews & Comments
This book struck me as well intended, written thoughtfully, but badly produced. It is difficult to use as a reference since the page numbers in the Table of Contents do not agree with the numbering in the Index, and neither agree with the actual pages in the book. Not surprisingly, there are typos scattered throughout, which can be lethal to anyone who doesn't already know what they are doing (but of course, these people wouldn't be reading this book). However, I feel compelled to acknowlege that the author does appear to have a clear idea of the intended audience - intermediate java programmers that are a few years out of date, perhaps because they were absorbed in some other project or a tour of duty in management - and did try to speak to them, rather than the common cutting/pasting/trivial rewording of the verbiage from Sun. My suspicions for the problems with this book fall upon the editors and publisher, not the author.
