Perfect for non-programmers who DON'T want to program.

This book is a great way to learn how to use Java in your Web site. This was perfect for me since I don't want to program (I think Java Programming for Dummies is for programmers, the Java for Dummies book I bought is perfect for non-programmers like me!).From reviews I've read here about this book I think people must have wanted the Java Programming for Dummies instead of Java for Dummies. If you want to use Java applets and applications, but don't want to program, this is the one. If you want to program, I think the programming Java book is what you should buy. This book has lots of free applets and tools for using Java in your Web site, and helps you also install Java applications on your desktop, all without having to program at all. Finally I now understand all the ins-and-outs of the APPLET tag and all its variations thanks to Java for Dummies!

GREAT!

First Java book I could understand that told me how to "weave" applets into my Web site easily, and also lead me through the more complicated applications. I'm glad this wasn't a programming book -- I don't write code! But I do create my own Web pages and this was the ticket to jazzing them up!
