Again

To clarify my previous review, the major problem of the book is practically unusable "customization" with Java plug in. If a user is so ignorant that he doesn't know how to paste html for an applet then it is quite silly to believe that he knows anything about applets at all. I had to say that I was dissapointed with the book, probably because I appreciated the second edition a lot.

Excellent Book and handy when you need quick info

This book was well organized and easy to find the solutions to my questions. The many examples that it has, enabled me to understand the ways to customize my animations. I found it very useful in my daily job when I needed the info quick.

If you need simple applets - this is the book!

Most of those interested in Java are interested because of the types of applets described in the book. Plus you get source code for personnal experiments (if you know something about programming). What else one interested in dynamic web wants. Add here that some companies are selling meager variants of applets described in the book for pretty penny, for example - Sausage. I saw recently AnFX commercial applet that is not a penny more worth than applets here. Some guy over the Internet sells "1 Cool Button" for 29 bucks. Etc, etc... Thus, this book is a bargain. It sells what it says - instant Java. The only little problem about the book is incredible miserable presentation - if you glance through the book there is really nothing to attract one's attention. Don't be deceived - this is a BARGAIN!
