Customer Reviews

Outstanding Text for entry level Visual J++ Programmer!

I am a network engineer and webmaster with 25 years experience in the field. I was looking for a book that would bring me up to speed using Visual J++ in a minmal amount of time. Scott Mulloy's straight forward approach to Visual J++ did so in an outstanding manner. He did not waste space by including superfluous comparisons, or other topics that are better suited for coverage in more advance texts. I found his book to be useful for it's examples and concise in it's instructions. This book accomplished what it was designed to do, teach novice programmers how to use Visual J++. Highly recommended!

Excellent Book used by my corporation for all VJ++ Training

This book does EXACTLY what it says it will on the back cover and in the "Who this book is for Section". I've read two reviews complaining the book doesn't cover Java Beans, but the book states clearly that is intended to teach readers how to write Java programs in Visual J++ 6.0, whic is obviously not centered around Bean development in case you haven't reviewed Microsoft's position on this. The book gives an excellent introduction to Java programming and an extremely thorough overview of Visual Studio. The J/Direct chapter is a bit limited, but the fact is, you don't really need this feature with the WFC. I teach Java and Visual J++ classes across the United States on a weekly basis and this is the book I now distribute in class. It is far superior to any of the other Visual J++ 6.0 books currently on the market.

Excellent coverage of the most crucial Visual J++ 6 Topics

I am a student with 5 years of C++ experience and have decided to teach myself Java. Coming from a Visual C++ background, I naturally chose Visual J++ as my development platform. This book has got me up and programming in Visual J++ 6 in a very short amount of time, and I am continuing to write more advanced programs as I skim through the latter chapters. I would recommend this book to any Java programmer who uses Visual J++ as it covers all of the most critical topics. Finally, a book that doesn't waste several chapters on useless topics just because other books did.

Excellent for transition from VJ++ 1.0 and VJ++ 1.1.

I am an experienced Visual J++ 1.0 and Visual J++ 1.1 programmer who is beginning to switch over to Visual J++ 6.0. This book has been a tremendous help with that, guiding me through new topics such as the Windows Foundation Classes and the built in HTML Editor. The Network chapter that develops a client and server program is the best I've ever read.

Excellent reference for J++ programmers.

Scott Mulloy has written a very thorough and easy to use book. For myself, who just starting to perform J++ programming, I found this reference takes you through each and every step with great code examples. I was able to learn in a very short time what you need to know in order to write code, quickly and easily.
