4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Java book to clear concept, but not for newbies., Mar 23 2003

P. Sun (North York, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Java 2 Certification Passport (Exam 310-025) (Paperback)

This is a very good Java book for not only the certification exam but also the one which helps you to get clear concept. I have experience in programming Java and now decide to go certified. I do feel this book help me quite a lot in the exam preparation. It serves as a very good review for the Java knowledges I have. The price of the book is also very nice. I can say that you get far more than you paid. One thing I would like to mention is this book probably a little bit tough for the newbies. If you are new to Java and do not have much OOP experience, I will not recommand you this one. Although most of comments here are negative, I still want to give this book a high rating.

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Java 2 Certification Passport (Exam 310-025) (Paperback)

This book is only worth purchasing as a doorstop

There are numerous errors in the test areas. The result is that you can not determine whether or not you are indeed prepared. It will waste your time to use these materials; to speak much less of your money!

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is terrible, Nov 10 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mike Meyers' Java 2 Certification Passport (Exam 310-025) (Paperback)

I have been working with Java for 4 years now and decided to finally get certified.

I decided to go against my instinct and not read amazon's reviews before purchasing the book. It was a terrible decision.

There are so many errors in the testing sections of this book, that I will most likely have to pay more money and get another book just to straighten my mind out. Examples of this include things where the author suggests you choose 3 out 5 possible answers for a multiple choice question, and then only lists 2 correct answers in the solutions. Now granted this inhumane struggle is a great way to learn the langauge, but isn't that what I paid the author to do in the first place?

Do not waste your time on this or other passport books.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor quality control
The contents of the book are OK if you already know Java and want to quickly brush up. There is too much assumed to just pick this book up as your first Java certification book... Read more
