Reviews for Schaum's Outline of Programming with Java (Schaum's Outline Series)
-
Good revision / no waffle
Rated out of 5 stars, October 12th, 2008
Great for quick revision (and for transferring from another language like Delphi because no simplified explanations of OOP etc)
About a dozen typos and a bit repetitive, but that's IT for you :-) -
An outline too far
Rated out of 5 stars, November 12th, 2001
Having already enjoyed Schaum/Hubbard's publications on C++ and Java, I began this book with some interest.However, upon completion, I was left feeling unfulfilled and in need of a hug. Had I been a total beginner and was reliant upon this publication to clarify, I think I would have been baying for the blood of the publisher.
What is the point of producing a slimmed down version of an already outlined publication? Java is a very powerful language and demands a weighty explanation. Indeed, all outline books tread a very fine tightrope when abbreviating details.
In summary, a book filled with 'shopping lists' simply can't be justified.
