Summary: Chock full of errors and typos
Review: This was the assigned textbook for my first graduate-level programming class. I was told that the first edition had tons of errors and that the second edition was vastly improved. Yikes! We used the second edition and it was unbelievable how many errors there were -- in the explanations, in the formulas, in the chapter review questions and "quick checks." In addition, there is an ancillary web site for the text that purports to include error listings and corrections. BUT, the listing does not exist, even though the edition has a 2001 copyright date. We were lucky to have a good professor who helped us identify the errors. Otherwise, I would be one confused, frustrated, novice 'programmer'.

Summary: Full of error
Review: unfortunately this book is assigned to be the text book of my java programming subject... the online quiz and the text are full of errors... many questions regarding to the javabook package but who will use that package when they write their own program...??? don't buy this book..there're heaps of better books avaliable. some of them are even free..say Thinking in JAVA. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE ADVANCED ON JAVA AND WANT TO TRAIN YOUR EYES TO PICK UP ERRORS.
