Summary: Wow the best one yet
Review: Neal Ford is an excellent trainer. I have purchased DV Press titles in the past, but I have never learned so much about a subject. This is th best title I have seen come out on Java v1.5.Job well done by Neal Ford and DV Press.

Summary: Excellent Java Course
Review: Unfortunately not everybody can fit into Neal's busy schedule or afford his rate. So this DVD set is the next best thing to having Neal personally instruct you in developing Java applications. In addition, it is very reasonably price. Neal does a great job of covering all the practical topics a new Java developer will need to get started. As a trainer, I review many books and computer based training products and I think this is the best CBT course I have ever seen. DV Press did a great job of combining the best of instructor led training with the best of CBT training. If I had to point out one negative about the training it is you can ask questions like you can of a live instructor but that is true with all CBT training. Because I am a Java user group coordinator, trainer, mentor and author; I am often asked by those starting to learn Java what is the quickest and best way to learn. My answer use to be a particular book. Now my answer is the "Beginner's Java 2 v1.5 2004 DVD training by Neal Ford"

Summary: Excellent Refresher / Beginner course on Java!
Review: Very good content and structure of Java basics:
1. Java Overview (J2ME|J2SE|J2EE)
2. Java Syntax
3. OOP Concepts
4. Exception Handling
5. Working in the Eclipse IDE
6. Much more, will append as I find the time to do so....
Video Quality: 5
Content: 5
Audio: 5
Editing: 4.99
Presentation: 5++
If you find it hard to sit down and read books or the SUN API for hours at a time, then you'll find this an invaluable refresher/introduction to Java.
If Neal or DVDPress reads these reviews, PLEASE come out with a Java Intermediate/Advanced Course, possibly even a set for under $150. I'd like to see topics on Applets, Java Web Start, RMI, Threads, and XML.
At this price, compared to AppDev's/Keystone/CBT, this is a steal! So if you own a copy, please don't share! They really did a great job on this DVD and they deserve the revenue for this gem!
Thanks again Neal and DVPress!
