Comment not all that intereresting for newbies... (Score 1) 16
I'm very surprised there's a new edition of this java book. I bought the 1st edition a few months ago when i was wanted to try some java programming. It was on sale for 10 guilders (4,50 euro), so... what a bargain!
Unfortunately, i found it a little too hard for newbies. Frankly, you're supposed to have already a quite lot of knowledge on c or c++ (which i didn't...). So for people starting on java and programming, probably not the best available (although i don't know which one is the best).
Too bad, cause the author writes very nice (jokes, anecdotes, etc...).
(In the 1st edition is a great 10-page explanation on how to make a waterbomb with only a newspaper. Now that's something different!)
