5 comments about Oracle9iAS Building J2EE(tm) Applications.

1. This book is an excellent guide to the complex topics of J2EE applications. It covers the strongest features of the app server from "Beans" to Web Services.



2. Having been on Oracle review committee for the last 2 yrs i find this book very easy to read. It is detailed in explanation and examples and references are precise. I would say that the book is really written to promote all the standards and features as stipulated and i would highly recommend this book.



3. As an experienced programmer i find this book as a very easy source of reference. Explanations and references of example codes are well written. The information flow is focused on each topic and therefore makes the reading very easy.



4. As several reviewers have already pointed out, this book doesn't get into the details of Java programming with Oracle. This book is really a vague overview of Java beans and messaging. You're better of buying a book that specifically covers JDBC programming.



5. The Oracle9i JDBC Programming book is better.

5 comments about An Introduction to Computer Science Using Java.

1. This book is used by the Univ of Auckland for its stage 1 CS textbook and it won't be used next yr.

   As Java is a high level OOL, the authors did a very poor job in explaining even the very basic concept of OOP. (e.g. class, method, etc)




2. Throughly confusing. Of very little value to the cs student. Detrimental to the aspiring Java professional.



3. Of course, they talk about getting JDK from Sun website in the *preface*. If you want to start out on your own this book is a good place to do that. A page of minor errata is available from Kamin's website, which perhaps bothered previous readers. Good book with a conversational style.



4. This books covers both first and second year
   concepts in computer science, as well as a variety
   of topics relevant to using Java. For an introduction
   to Java with minimal computer science, consult Deitel
   and Deitel. I would also recommend the book "Discrete
   Mathematics" by Rosen, or a similar book, to be used
   in conjunction with this text. If you learn using
   this book or perhaps SICP by Abelson (used at MIT),
   you will be much better off in the long run than using a
   less rigorous approach.



5. I'm currently a Computer Science major at the University of Memphis and unfortunately they used this book for their Introduction to Computer Science class. Sad to say, I failed the class because this book failed me! There's only so much that a professor can explain and you will need a reliable text, well written, with lots of examples on java programming to supplement the lectures. However, this awful text does not explain the basics of programming but instead bombards you with Computer Science concepts that are way over a beginner's head. It was useless to all of students in the class and nearly everyone had to go out and buy a second book, like "Headfirst Java" by Kathy Sierra. However, after spending $108.00 on this book, I refused to go out and purchase another text. So as the semester progressed and the students who'd purchase a different book grasped the programming concepts, I still grappled with this garbage and ultimately failed the class. So BEWARE, THIS BOOK SUCKS!
