The only book that made any sense

This is the first book that tied together the "Visual" tools (like Visual Basic, Visual RPG, etc.) with the Java language & Cafe. The UC Irvine instructor did not draw the parallel because he did not use Visual Basic, and did not like HTML -- the UCI instructor could not run a Cafe project! This book does it in step-by-step chapters with practical exercises. You finally see the connection between the "Visual" tools and the java code -- and it makes java easier to learn. So I like it. I just bought an upgrade to Visual Cafe (2.0 to 3.0 database) (Oracle Light), and I need a PC-to-AS400 tool. Cafe will be it. I use Visual Basic 6.0, Visual RPG, Visual J++ I am an RPG pgmr and thus have other paradigms to "overcome" in using OOP. This beats a college course if you don't mind reading.

Good for an introduction

I find that the book is good but only if u skip the first few chapters and head straight to where u start using the Java AWT classes. That was where i started rocking and rolling with Java, whereas i was still in a daze in the first few chapters. Good examples too. One note is to use the correct version of VCafe, I used the version 2.5 and there was no problem at all with the example codes. One grouse is the lack of client/server examples. Otherwise, this is a good buy.
