Getting off to a good start by A. Longo  5 Stars
November 05, 2009
From what I have read thus far, I like the author's style. I showed my copy to a JAVA programmer and he felt that the table of contents covers an excellent introduction to JAVA. It was recommended that I take advantage of one of the several IDE available on the web. I did and together with the book, I have an excellent learning environment.

Loving the book - Hating the misprint! by -- Peggy (Greenbelt, MD)  2 Stars
September 21, 2009
Five star for content - 0 stars for quality control - average rounded down to 2.
I bought this book last November and am just now getting around to using it.
Up through hour 12 and very happy with the material, the way it is presented, the workshops.
Highlighting, taking notes, flagging pages... all good
All is fine until page 310--- where 319 should be I find page 271 again .... up to 318 again and then jump to 367. Missing 319 through 366.
First, I don't know if I can get a refund after 10 months and second - I don't want to give up all my annotations from the first 12 hours if they do let me return it. :-( Unhappy either way.
So - if you buy this book (Five Stars) make sure you check the pagination throughout when it arrives.

Excellent book, even for XP users by Eric H Matthes 5 Stars
June 21, 2006
I am just finishing this book, and it is one of the best programming books I have ever worked with. The author has a sense of humor that completely complements the work. I usually find humor in a programming book cheesy and distracting, but Cadenhead's humor is informative and fun at heart, and makes the work go more quickly and make more sense.
The DOS issues mentioned in another review are not a problem with this book. Learning any powerful programming language these days does involve understanding a little bit of what's going on under the hood in your computer. That learning curve exists in almost any language, and each book needs to include it. There is extensive coverage in this book for the difficulties that may arise in this stage, and help for getting around those issues. Once you get your particular system set up properly, you will enjoy playing with the language. There is also extensive online support for these issues.
I am also sticking with the Sams 24 Hour series for other languages, because they are very well done for a wide range of readers.
