A different kind of Java reference book,
This review is from: Java Phrasebook (Paperback)
This is a very odd approach for a Java reference book. The idea is that, if you are in a foreign country and cannot speak the language, "phrasebooks" for that language, showing you how to say common phrases without having to study the language in detail, are very helpful. That is true. However, those people who find such phrasebooks useful tend to board a plane and go home in a few weeks, with no real further use for the language. The problem is, how many times is that true in programming? Either you need to know the entire programming language, or you don't. This book is an attempt to use the same phrasebook approach for Java. In the beginning, it does a pretty good job of stating basic things you need to know such as setting up your environment, compiling from the command line, etc. that are usually not clearly stated in books that teach you the full-blown language. However, don't expect it to teach you the language. It might make a good reference for showing novices certain basics...

Beautiful and well written book, By
This review is from: Java Phrasebook (Paperback)
Java Phrasebook is a beautiful, well written book containing 100's of phrases which will help the reader to accomplish common tasks in Java. This book is for intermediate Java developers as well as developers who are new to Java.The author assumes you have previous knowledge of Java and you are ready to program in Java; don't worry he has included references to various web sites (mostly Sun) throughout the book for additional information you might need. The book covers JDK 5.0 and is not a Java language tutorial or introduction or even a reference to the Java language. Personally, I found this book very easy to read, and carry; it fits in my purse. I do agree with what the author suggests; if your goal is to get a deeper understanding of a specific technology, this is not the book you are looking for. On the other hand, this book should be very helpful for those who need to brush up some phrases before an Interview or even to those who... Read more

hardly used it in my learning journy, By Marten K "Marten K" (Australia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Java Phrasebook (Paperback)
When I bought this book I was beginning Java, now I am reasonably proficient. I rarely consulted this book in this journey.Whenever I wanted to know something simple, this book was no help. This book is OK, but I can't quite see where it useful. It wasn't useful for me as an amateur beginner as I gravitated towards the net or fully fledged Java books, and I very much doubt it would be useful for seasoned programmers. |
