Schaum's Outline of Programming with Java

Rating:
Summary: A piece of fiction!
Review: This is the worst waste of eight dollars I have ever spent. It should be placed with the fiction titles instead of the computer ones.
The text constantly references fields and objects that don't exist in the example code, the code is totally messed up. For instance "j;+" and "j+;" do not increment the field. it should be "j++". I can understand having mistakes but this book is filled with them. This book is a mistake. There are two separate pieces of code that are supposed to be different but are identical. items referenced in example code don't exist.
I could go on and on about this piece of ****. Reading this book made me angry. If a student were to use this book before taking a test they would certainly fail.
The editor and authors must have been near comatose from cocaine when working on this pulp.
