Good for a beginner with small Java Experience

Book is well organized. It covers most of the features. The examples are easy to follow. Easy to read. However it only covers features in the Professional Edition as the preface mentioned. Would've been better if it covered a little more advanced topics like visual servlets, cookies etc... Overal is good for learning but not for the advanced. I think I learned a lot from the book which has prepared me for the next level.

Excellent Starting book - be very careful to follow EXACTLY

I found this to be a very good book. I had used the product for a couple of months and gone throught the online samples.. From this perspective it leads you VERY well into further development. I was very pleased with the breadth of information provided. Unfortunately, debug is not handled real well and you will not get a real good knowledge of JAVA. On the positive side with the exception of the debugger you get a very good understanding of this powerful IBM application development product.

The only way to learn VAJ

While the book does contain some small contextual errors, the code seems to work fine, and the applications depicted in the exercises require the use of all pertinent features.Visual Age for Java is a powerful and complex development environment. I thought I knew it pretty until I read this book. The exercises are understandable yet challanging and detailed. I'm ready to start coding and using this tool as a true professional.
